TABLE 1.

Types, number and dimensions of bursae

Type of bursa (number of specimens included)	Bursae number (%)	Dimensions, mean ± SD (range) in cm, measurement direction
Subacromial (14)	14 (100)	5.6 ± 1.6 (2.1–8.0), anterior‐posterior	6.0 ± 1.6 (3.7–9.2), medial‐lateral
Subdeltoid (14)	1 (7)	3.8, anterior‐posterior	2.5, medial‐lateral
Coracobrachial (16) ^a	15 (93.8) ^b	2.3 ± 1.0 (0.9–3.7), medial‐lateral	2.6 ± 0.9 (1.2–4.8), superior‐inferior
Subcoracoid (16) ^a	5 (31.2) ^b	1.5 ± 0.5 (0.9–2.2), medial‐lateral	1.6 ± 0.5 (1.0–2.3), superior‐inferior
Subtendinous bursa of subscapularis (16)	16 (100)	2.8 ± 1.0 (0.8–4.8) ^c , medial‐lateral	2.6 ± 1.1 (1.3–4.5) ^c , superior‐inferior

^{^a}

Distribution of CBB and SCB in specimens: single CBB: n = 11; one CBB and one SCB: n = 4; one single SCB: n = 1.

^{^b}

Bursa excluded because synovial lining was not confirmed histologically: n = 3 (CBB: n = 1, in one specimen with two CBB), and n = 2 SCB (n = 1 in one specimen with two SCB; n = 1 single SCB).

^{^c}

Measurement data available from n = 15 specimens.
