The subacromial space is a narrow passageway located beneath the acromion, a bony prominence of the scapula (shoulder blade). This space is important for the passage of tendons, such as the rotator cuff tendons, and other soft tissues in the shoulder joint. Impingement or compression of structures in the subacromial space can lead to shoulder pain and dysfunction.
What else can I help you with?
What is the Welsh for space?
Lle (place) Gwagle (space, void) Gofod (space) Encyd (space; while) Ysbaid (space of time)
How can you compare a contrast a space shuttle and a space station?
They both start with space and they both can be in space
Why do space shuttle float on space?
A space shuttle is able to float because there is no gravity in space.
What are the roles of the space shuttle and the space station in space programs?
they both can be used in space to do missions
Is Skylab a space probe a space station or a space shuttle?
it was also in the earlyer (not shuttle) missions
What does it mean if someone has subacromial fat effacement of the supraspinatous tendon?
Subacromial fat effacement of the supraspinatous tendon suggests that there is compression of the rotator cuff tendon due to the presence of fat in the subacromial space. This can lead to impingement and inflammation of the tendon, causing shoulder pain and limited range of motion. Treatment may involve rest, physical therapy, or in severe cases, surgical intervention.
What is subacromial enthesophyte?
A subacromial enthesophyte is a bony growth or spur that develops at the site of tendon attachment in the subacromial space, often associated with the rotator cuff tendons. It can occur due to repetitive stress, inflammation, or degenerative changes, leading to shoulder pain and limited mobility. These enthesophytes may contribute to impingement syndrome by narrowing the space through which the rotator cuff tendons pass. Treatment options often include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, or, in severe cases, surgery to address the underlying issues.
What is the most important and most commonly injured bursa of the shoulder joint?
The subacromial bursa is both the most important bursa in the shoulder joint for reducing friction and the most commonly injured. Inflammation of this bursa, known as subacromial bursitis, can cause pain and restricted motion in the shoulder.
What is subacromial decompression?
Subacromial decompression is a surgical procedure aimed at relieving shoulder pain caused by impingement or compression of the rotator cuff tendons beneath the acromion, the bony prominence on the shoulder blade. During the procedure, the surgeon removes bone spurs and other soft tissue structures that contribute to the narrowing of the subacromial space. This helps to alleviate pain and improve shoulder function, particularly in patients who have not responded to conservative treatments. It is often performed arthroscopically, which involves smaller incisions and less recovery time compared to open surgery.
What is edema in the subacromial bursa?
a pain in my shoulder that never goes away
What is the code for injection of the left shoulder with via anterior subacromial approach?
not sure
What is medical billing code 99286?
According to this info, it is an ortho code, according to something else, it is in the Emergency range. i can't find a reimb on my addm b for it. CPT® and RBRVS 2012 Annual Symposium November 16-18, 2012 Orthopaedic and Spine American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery, AMA/Specialty Society Relative Value Scale 99286 - Arthroscopic subacromial decompression The descriptor has changed from Arthroscopy, shoulder, surgical; decompression of subacromial space with partial acromioplasty, with or without coracoacromial release to Arthroscopy, shoulder, surgical; decompression of subacromial space with partial acromioplasty, with coracoacromial ligament (ie, arch) release, when performed (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure)
What is subacromial subdeltoid bursa?
The subacromial subdeltoid bursa is a small fluid-filled sac located between the acromion (part of the shoulder blade) and the deltoid muscle. Its role is to reduce friction and provide cushioning between these structures, allowing smooth movement of the shoulder joint.
What causes moderate facet joint hypertrophy?
Spurs and hypertrophy of the ac level causes partial of subacromial fat signal
Are adhesions possible after subacromial decompression arthroscopic surgery?
Yes - according to my surgeon. I am not a doctor, but my source is my surgeon who uses a preparation called Hyaluronan which replaces lost synovial fluid after surgery. One of the benifits he cites is a lower instance of adhesions following surgery. He has discussed this in the context of Subacromial Decompression.

What is subacromial bursal effusion?
An impingement or a secondary sign of a rotator cuff tear in the shoulder area. Subacromial bursal indicates the sign of fluid around the joint area. The Bursa can also become inflamed. The fluid retention and inflamation can cause Rotator Cuff disease.
Can surgery help with subacromial bursa effusion?
Yes, surgery can help with subacromial bursa effusion, particularly if conservative treatments such as rest, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections are ineffective. Surgical options may include arthroscopy to remove the inflamed bursa or to address underlying issues like impingement. The decision to proceed with surgery typically depends on the severity of symptoms and the impact on daily activities. Consultation with an orthopedic specialist is essential to determine the best approach.
