The supra-acromial bursa is located on the superior aspect of the acromion and normally does not communicate with the glenohumeral joint. [1] Supra-acromial bursitis has not been receiving much attention from literature and remains described mainly as case reports of presumptive diagnosis with no histopathological correlation. [ 2 ]
The subcoracoid bursa or subcoracoid bursa of Collas is a synovial bursa located in the shoulder. It is located anterior to the subscapularis muscle and inferior to the coracoid process . Its function is to reduce friction between the coracobrachialis , subscapularis and short head of the biceps tendons , thus facilitating internal and external ...
A bursa (which communicates with the cavity of the shoulder joint [1] [2] via an aperture in the joint capsule [2]) intervenes between the tendon and a bare area at the lateral angle of the scapula [1] /the neck of the scapula. [2] The subscapularis (supraserratus) bursa separates the subscapularis is from the serratus anterior. [2]
Sharp pain that doesn’t improve after a couple of weeks may be a sign of a serious condition, such as a severe muscle tear, ligament injury, fracture, or hip strain. Sudden dull pain.
A hip fracture is a break that occurs in the upper part of the femur (thigh bone), at the femoral neck or (rarely) the femoral head. [2] Symptoms may include pain around the hip, particularly with movement, and shortening of the leg. [2] Usually the person cannot walk. [3] A hip fracture is usually a femoral neck fracture.
Adhesive capsulitis or "frozen shoulder" is often secondary to rotator cuff injury due to post-surgical immobilization. Available treatment options include intra-articular corticosteroid injections to relieve pain in the short-term and electrotherapy, mobilizations, and home exercise programs for long-term pain relief.

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.

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 ...
