Subacromial bursography. An anatomical and clinical study

A M Strizak, L Danzig, D W Jackson

    The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American Volume
    |February 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Subacromial bursography can help diagnose rotator cuff impingement. Normal bursogram findings may suggest questioning a chronic impingement diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Rotator cuff impingement syndrome is a common shoulder condition.
    • Subacromial bursography is a diagnostic imaging technique.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of subacromial bursography in diagnosing rotator cuff impingement.
    • To correlate bursographic findings with clinical diagnoses.

    Main Methods:

    • Anatomical study of 15 cadavers.
    • Clinical study of 31 patients undergoing subacromial bursography.
    • Radiographic assessment of the subacromial bursa using contrast material.

    Main Results:

    • The subacromial bursa's anterior portion is key in impingement diagnosis.
    • Normal bursas accept 5-10 ml of contrast; thickened bursas accept less.
    • Abnormal bursal characteristics indicate potential impingement.

    Conclusions:

    • Subacromial bursography is a valuable tool for assessing rotator cuff impingement.
    • Normal bursogram findings warrant re-evaluation of chronic impingement diagnoses.
