“…In evaluating such conditions, awareness of location and extent of juxta-articular bursae is important in order to identify or exclude significant pathology [6]. Joint/bursal effusions and cystic lesions related to subacromial impingement or rotator cuff tears may show a spectrum of different MRI findings, reflecting the degree of subacromial impingement, the size and location of the rotator cuff tear, and the anatomic margins of joint capsules and juxta-articular bursae [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15].…”

“…When there is distension of both subscapularis and subcoracoid bursae, a fibrous septum may be seen separating both cavities (Fig. 5b) [12]. Occasional communication between subcoracoid and subacromial±subdeltoid bursae has been demonstrated [7], which explains the frequent association of subcoracoid effusions with rotator cuff tears and interval tears [9,12].…”

Fluid collections and juxta-articular cystic lesions of the shoulder: spectrum of MRI findings

et al. 2002

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The MR imaging features of fluid collections and juxta-articular cystic lesions of the shoulder are discussed, with special focus on those related to subacromial impingement and rotator cuff tears. Other more unusual fluid collections and cystic lesions are described, including rice-bodies bursitis, idiopathic synovial osteochondromatosis, dialysis-related amyloid arthropathy, hemophilic arthropathy, infectious conditions, non-infectious inflammatory arthritis, and paralabral cysts.

Clinical anatomy of the subacromial and related shoulder bursae: A review of the literature

2017

The subacromial bursa (SAB) is the main bursa of the shoulder. It facilitates normal movement and is also commonly involved in shoulder disorders. Other shoulder bursae have been described but their anatomy has not been well studied. Anatomical variation of shoulder bursae has been suggested and this has implications for clinical practice. This article reviews current knowledge of the normal anatomy of the SAB and related shoulder bursae. A systematic review of the English and German literature was conducted using databases and a hand search of reference lists focusing on the clinical anatomy of the SAB, coracobrachial and subcoracoid bursae and subtendinous bursa of subscapularis. Twenty-four original sources and 13 textbooks were identified. Fifteen studies described the general morphology of the shoulder bursae using cadaveric specimens, eight examined innervation, and one provided information about the blood supply of the SAB. The literature agrees that the SAB is consistent and well innervated with a lateral subdeltoid part and a variable subcoracoid portion. There is variability regarding the consistency, location, and communications of the coracobrachial and subcoracoid bursae and the superior part of the subtendinous bursa of subscapularis, and little information on their nerve and blood supply. Several bursae are present around the shoulder joint. Further research is warranted to understand the precise attachments, dimensions, and communications of the bursae, as well as their nerve and blood supply. This information will improve understanding of the clinical relevance of these bursae and inform appropriate assessment and treatment. Clin. Anat. 30:213-226, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Pain related to rotator cuff abnormalities: MRI findings without clinical significance

MRI has become an important diagnostic tool in the evaluation of rotator cuff pathology and the technology continues to evolve. Direct MR arthrography, diagnosisspecific sequencing such as fat suppression, special positioning such as abducted externally rotated (ABER) views and ultra high field magnets allow for an unprecedented level of detail in imaging. In this article, we review MRI findings in patients with rotator cuff abnormalities that are anatomic variants or incidental findings. Although MRI findings may be diagnostic in some cases, we find that clinical correlation with history and physical examination is critical to differentiate between anatomic variants, incidental findings, and true pathology. We conclude that good communication between the orthopedic surgeon and the radiologist is necessary to optimize diagnostic yield.
