Shoulder bursitis is the most common type of bursitis. It occurs when excess fluid builds up in a bursa, the cushioning pad between bones and tissue in joints. Many people with shoulder bursitis also have shoulder tendinitis. The conditions cause pain and can affect arm mobility.
Shoulder bursitis (inflammation of a bursa) is one of the leading causes of shoulder pain. It can lead to lost workdays and, in some cases, even disability. The symptoms of bursitis vary by type and severity, but may include swelling, excessive warmth at the site, tenderness, pain and/or fever.
A bursa is a sac-like structure containing a small amount of synovial fluid. It functions to decrease friction between tendons, bone, and skin during movement. There are several bursae present in the shoulder joint: Subacromial – located deep to the deltoid and acromion, and superficial to the supraspinatus tendon and joint capsule.
Shoulder bursitis is a common cause of shoulder and upper arm pain. Bursitis develops when one of the bursa, a small fluid-filled sac, becomes irritated and inflamed. There are a number of different bursa around the shoulder that may be affected, but the most common type of shoulder bursitis is subacromial bursitis.
Shoulder bursae refer to sacs surrounding the shoulder joint that are filled with synovial fluid. As with bursae in general, they facilitate movement and reduce friction at tendon-tendon and tendon-bone interfaces. There are five main bursae around the shoulder. They include: subacromial-subdeltoid (SASD) bursa. subscapular recess.
Shoulder bursitis occurs when tiny sacs of fluid in the shoulder joint (bursae) become inflamed. This condition can develop from repetitive reaching or lifting overhead or as a result of trauma (such as a fall).
Shoulder Bursa: fluid filled sacs that reduce friction between bones and soft tissues; Cartilage: thick, fibrous tissue that lines the joint to protect the bones; The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, controlled by the careful co-ordination of four separate joints that work together.
