Subacromial bursitis is a condition caused by inflammation of the bursa that separates the superior surface of the supraspinatus tendon (one of the four tendons of the rotator cuff) from the overlying coraco-acromial ligament, acromion, and coracoid (the acromial arch) and from the deep surface of the deltoid muscle. [1] The subacromial bursa helps the motion of the supraspinatus tendon of the ...
Calcific bursitis refers to calcium deposits within the bursae. This most occurs in the shoulder area. The most common bursa for calcific bursitis to occur is the subacromial bursa. A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that reduces friction, and facilitates movements between its adjacent tissues (i.e., between tendon and bone, two muscles or ...
Calcific tendinitis. Calcific tendinitis is a common condition where deposits of calcium phosphate form in a tendon, sometimes causing pain at the affected site. Deposits can occur in several places in the body, but are by far most common in the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Around 80% of those with deposits experience symptoms, typically ...
Shoulder impingement syndrome is a syndrome involving tendonitis ( inflammation of tendons) of the rotator cuff muscles as they pass through the subacromial space, the passage beneath the acromion.
Rotator cuff tendinopathy is, by far, the most common reason people seek care for shoulder pain. [7] Pain related to rotator cuff tendinopathy is typically on the front side of the shoulder, down to the elbow, and worse reaching up or back. Diagnosis is based on symptoms and examination. [8] Medical imaging is used mostly to plan surgery and is not needed for diagnosis.
Bursitis is an inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion and lubricate joints, reducing friction between bones, tendons, and muscles.
Shoulder problems including pain, are one of the more common reasons for physician visits for musculoskeletal symptoms. The shoulder is the most movable joint in the body. However, it is an unstable joint because of the range of motion allowed. This instability increases the likelihood of joint injury, often leading to a degenerative process in ...
Tendinopathy is a type of tendon disorder that results in pain, swelling, and impaired function. [2] The pain is typically worse with movement. [2] It most commonly occurs around the shoulder ( rotator cuff tendinitis, biceps tendinitis ), elbow ( tennis elbow, golfer's elbow ), wrist, hip, knee ( jumper's knee, popliteus tendinopathy), or ankle ( Achilles tendinitis ).
