HUMB2009 Study Guide - Final Guide: Gout, Supraspinatus Muscle, Adhesive Capsulitis Of Shoulder
Document Summary
Bursa = synovial fluid filled sac, located between tissues such as bones, muscles and tendons helping movement. Often caused by repetitive use, minor impact on the area, gout and infections. Need more than 1 view, to be sure calcifications are there need ap with internal and external rotation and near view (if calcification moves then it is affecting the rotator cuff muscles and is within it) Calcifications/deposits of calcium around tendons - main sign. In shoulder round supraspinatus tendon visible near greater tuberosity of humerus.
