Definition of bursitis: Bursitis
When the bursae are not irritated and working well, your joints move smoothly and painless.
When a bursa becomes inflamed and swollen, we speak of a bursitis and you will experience pain during physical activity.
Clinically relevant anatomy[edit | edit source]
In the shoulder region, we have 8 bursae, the most of any single joint in your body. The major bursae in the shoulder are: the subscapular bursa, the subdeltoid bursa, the subacromial bursa and the subcoracoid bursa.
1) The subscapular bursa: between the tendon of the subscapularis muscle and the shoulder joint capsule.
2) The subdeltoid bursa: between the deltoid musle and the shoulder joint cavity.
3) The subacromial bursa: below the acromion process and above the greater tubercle of the humerus.
4) The subcoracoid bursa: between the coracoid process of the scapula and the shoulder joint capsule.
