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 space?
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 is edema in the subacromial bursa?
a pain in my shoulder that never goes away
Is the elbow anterior to the shoulder?
nope. anterior means in front of. the elbow is distal to the shoulder.
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.
Where does clavodeltoid insert?
It is the muscle on the anterior surface of the shoulder and anterior to the pectoantebrachialis.
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 way does shoulder usually dislocate?
The anterior
What is front shoulder muscle?
Anterior deltoid
Anterior superior escape of the shoulder?
The anterior superior escape of the shoulder refers to a particular direction in which the shoulder joint may dislocate. It involves the humeral head moving anteriorly and superiorly out of the glenoid fossa. This type of dislocation is relatively rare compared to anterior and inferior dislocations.
Where is bursa found near the shoulder area?
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.
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.
