A member asked:
What is partial thickness tear of the subacromial subdeltoid bursa with fluid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Incomplete tear: You most likely have a partial thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon, one of the rotator cuff muscles, with fluid in the subdeltoid/subacromial bursa. A bursa is a fluid filled sac that decreases friction wear tendon rubs over or attaches to bone. The tear is not completely all the way through, similarly to a partially frayed rope. The fluid in the bursa is a result of the tear.
