What is subacrominal bursa and subcoracoid bursa?

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.
