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.

They both start with space and they both can be in space
A space shuttle is able to float because there is no gravity in space.
they both can be used in space to do missions
it was also in the earlyer (not shuttle) missions
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.
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.

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)
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.
Spurs and hypertrophy of the ac level causes partial of subacromial fat signal
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.

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.

Bursitis is a condition in which there is an inflammation of the bursa, which is a sac that is located between muscles or tendons of the shoulder. A cause of shoulder bursitis can be overuse of the shoulder joint. This condition can cause pain.
The subacromial and subcoracoid bursa are spaces composed of synovium membrane (which generally lines the inside of joint capsules) and synovial fluid a fluid which is found in joint and bursa and is designed to be as frictionless as possible. The subacromial bursa is located above the shoulder joint between the supraspinatus muscle and below the acromiom which comes off the spine of the scapula and may be palpated as the bony apex of the shoulder. This bursa does not communicate with the shoulder joint proper. This is not the case if there is underlying pathology however. The subcoracoid bursa is also called the subscapular bursa. It is in fact a medial continuation of the shoulder joint. In other words it is part of the shoulder joint cavity and sits underneath the coracoid process. The coracoid process is also part of the scapula and can be palpated beneath the lateral (outer part) of the clavicle.
