  2. Subscapularis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subscapularis_muscle

    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]

  3. Subcoracoid bursa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcoracoid_bursa

    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 Brodie abscess is a subacute osteomyelitis, appearing as an accumulation of pus in bone, frequently with an insidious onset. [1] Brodie's abscess is characterized by pain and swelling without fever, often resulting from diabetic wounds, fracture-related bone infection, or haematogenous osteomyelitis.

    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.

  6. Bone scintigraphy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_scintigraphy

    A bone scan or bone scintigraphy / s ɪ n ˈ t ɪ ɡ r ə f i / is a nuclear medicine imaging technique used to help diagnose and assess different bone diseases. These include cancer of the bone or metastasis, location of bone inflammation and fractures (that may not be visible in traditional X-ray images), and bone infection (osteomyelitis).

  7. Occult fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occult_fracture

    The vertical parasagittal planes correspond to the region of maximal stress during walking, while the horizontal fracture develops later, secondary to the loss of lateral support by parasagittal fractures. MRI is the primary imaging technique in this case, with the most common MRI pattern showing bone marrow edema and a fracture line (Figure 12).

  8. Greater trochanteric pain syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_trochanteric_pain...

    Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), a form of bursitis, is inflammation of the trochanteric bursa, a part of the hip. This bursa is at the top, outer side of the femur, between the insertion of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles into the greater trochanter of the femur and the femoral shaft. It has the function, in common ...

  9. Shoulder joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_joint

    The coracobrachial bursa is between the subscapularis muscle and the tendon of the coracobrachialis muscle. Between the capsule and the tendon of the subscapularis muscle is the subscapular bursa, this is also known as the subtendinous bursa of the scapularis. The supra-acromial bursa does not normally communicate with the shoulder joint.
