Q

Bursae at GH joint

A

Bursae are sac like cavities bear joint which contain synovial fluid

Subscapularis bursa communicates with joint cavity

Bursitis - inflammation of bursae lead to degenerative changes in tendons resulting in difficulty initiating movements for example if supraspinatus tendon affected there is an inability to initiate abduction
