Primary idiopathic frozen shoulder can be mis‐diagnosed in patients presenting with a painful stiff shoulder if radiographs of the shoulder are not undertaken. We report a patient who was referred to an orthopaedic upper limb clinic with a presumed diagnosis of a frozen shoulder who turned out to have the rather rare condition, melorheostosis. This was successfully treated by arthroscopic debridement.
