  2. Subacromial bursitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subacromial_bursitis

    Subacromial bursitis is a condition caused by inflammation of the bursa that separates the superior surface of the supraspinatus tendon (one of the four tendons of the rotator cuff) from the overlying coraco-acromial ligament, acromion, and coracoid (the acromial arch) and from the deep surface of the deltoid muscle.

  3. Subacromial bursa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subacromial_bursa

    The subacromial bursa is the synovial cavity located just below the acromion, which communicates with the subdeltoid bursa in most individuals, ...

  4. Calcific bursitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcific_bursitis

    Calcific bursitis refers to calcium deposits within the bursae. This most occurs in the shoulder area. The most common bursa for calcific bursitis to occur is the subacromial bursa. A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that reduces friction, and facilitates movements between its adjacent tissues (i.e., between tendon and bone, two muscles or ...

  5. Shoulder joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_joint

    Bursae of shoulder joint: (1) and (6) subacromial-subdeltoid bursa, (2) subscapular recess, (3) subcoracoid bursa, (4) coracoclavicular bursa, (5) supra-acromial bursa. A number of small fluid-filled sacs known as synovial bursae are located around the capsule to aid mobility: Between the joint capsule and the deltoid muscle is the subacromial ...

  6. Shoulder impingement syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_impingement_syndrome

    Shoulder impingement syndrome is a syndrome involving tendonitis (inflammation of tendons) of the rotator cuff muscles as they pass through the subacromial space, the passage beneath the acromion. It is particularly associated with tendonitis of the supraspinatus muscle. [1] This can result in pain, weakness, and loss of movement at the ...

  7. Subcoracoid bursa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcoracoid_bursa

    The subcoracoid bursa does not communicate with the glenohumeral joint under normal circumstances, but may communicate with the subacromial bursa. [1] As such, contrast fluid injected into the glenohumeral joint during an arthrogram that extends into the subcoracoid bursa is abnormal, and indirectly implies a full thickness rotator cuff tear. [2]

  8. Rotator cuff tear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotator_cuff_tear

    Localized pain on the anterior shoulder suggests subacromial impingement, whereas posterior shoulder pain suggests internal impingement. [45] For the diagnosis of full-thickness rotator cuff tear, the best combination appears to include once more the painful arc and weakness in external rotation, and in addition, the drop arm sign .

  9. Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive_capsulitis_of_the...

    Surgical evaluation of other problems with the shoulder, e.g., subacromial bursitis or rotator cuff tear, may be needed. Resistant adhesive capsulitis may respond to open release surgery. This technique allows the surgeon to find and correct the underlying cause of restricted shoulder movement such as contracture of coracohumeral ligament and ...
