Nov 5, 2024 · Supraspinatus tendonitis develops when there is repetitive friction on the tendon or it is repeatedly squashed or “impinged” in the subacromial space. This leads to inflammation and gradual degeneration of the tendon. In time, tears may also develop in the supraspinatus tendon leading to a partial or complete rotator cuff tear.

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.

Irritation and inflammation in one of the fluid-filled sacs near the top of the shoulder results in pain, weakness and restricted shoulder motion. Subacromial bursitis is typically an overuse injury caused by repetitive overhead movements.

Subacromial bursitis (inflammation, swelling, and fibrosis of the bursal area above the rotator cuff) commonly results from tendinitis of the cuff. Subacromial bursitis, rotator cuff tendinitis, and partial rotator cuff tears cause shoulder pain, especially when the arm is moved overhead.

Supraspinatus tendinopathy and bursitis are the most common injuries diagnosed in the shoulder. Although pain may originate from these structures, the cause is often related to how the shoulder joint moves and the interaction of the muscles of the …

Shoulder bursae are synovial fluid-filled sacs located around the shoulder joint. Their role in life is to reduce friction at tendon-bone and tendon-tendon interfaces, promoting smoother movement. When glenohumeral bursae become inflamed, known as shoulder bursitis, we find a leading cause of shoulder pain.
