2018, Orthopaedics and Traumatology: Surgery and ResearchCitation Excerpt :This abnormal amount of liquid can result from full thickness rotator cuff tears, creating communication between the glenohumeral joint space and the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa, and from irritation of the bursa due to subacromial impingement [29]. These entities can therefore be considered local bursal reactions and not true inflammatory bursitis, which is due to other entities such as certain rheumatological diseases, crystal deposit, infection or haemorrhage [30,31]. Thickening of the bursa synovial lining is also a sign of bursal reaction or true inflammation, and like effusion, there is no normal range defined for thickness, although a difference between both shoulders of over 2 mm has been proposed to be significant [13].

2016, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :These different forms of tendinopathy can coexist within the same tendon. Histology-based studies of the rotator cuff tendon, as well as other tendon injuries, have demonstrated the absence of acute inflammatory cells.35–40 Other studies are not in agreement with this and have found histologic evidence of inflammation.41,42
