<v ->We talked yesterday

0:02

about the subacromial, subdeltoid, subcoracoid bursa.

0:06

I wanted to just include a couple of other illustrations

0:10

to show you why we do have difficulty in this.

0:14

"A." here is the

0:16

subscapular recess of the glenohumeral joint.

0:19

This is in the sagittal plane,

0:21

the axial plane, and in the coronal plane.

0:24

It is part of the joint,

0:26

and fluid can collect within it,

0:28

and, by the way, when you have adhesive capsulitis,

0:31

a lot of times all of the fluid ends up

0:34

in the subscapular recess of the glenohumeral joint.

0:38

In front of it, here, we have the subcoracoid bursa,

0:41

and, as I indicated yesterday,

0:44

there is normally no connection between the two.

0:47

Here is the subcoracoid bursa here,

0:49

and you can see it intimate with,

0:51

but not connecting to, the subscapular recess.

0:55

And then you can appreciate

0:57

the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa,

1:01

which may or may not communicate

1:03

with the subcoracoid bursa.

1:05

So we do end up with problems,

1:07

and here's an example.

1:08

Trying to say, what's in the joint

1:11

and what's in the bursa?

1:13

Now the clue is,

1:14

and this is a patient who has some synovial proliferation,

1:17

is to find these little areas

1:19

of intermediate or low signal,

1:21

presumably representing the peripheral synovial lining.

1:26

And that would tell you if you have

1:28

a lot of fluid outside of that,

1:30

anterior and inferior to it,

1:33

you do have fluid within the subcoracoid bursa.

1:37

In this case, also fluid within

1:39

the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa.

1:43

With that said, we've reached the end of our first segment.

1:47

I'm gonna turn to Carlos Longo

1:49

to go over our first series of cases.
