| shoulder impingement syndrome | <syndrome> Compression of the rotator cuff tendons and subacromial bursa between the humeral head and structures that make up the coracoacromial arch and the humeral tuberosities. This condition is associated with subacromial bursitis and rotator cuff (largely supraspinatus) and bicipital tendon inflammation, with or without degenerative changes in the tendon. Pain that is most severe when the arm is abducted in an arc between 40 and 120 degrees, sometimes associated with tears in the rotator cuff, is the chief symptom. (12 Dec 1998) |

| frozen shoulder | <orthopaedics, rheumatology> This disorder results from any conditions that enforce prolonged immobility of the shoulder joint. The shoulder is painful and tender to palpation. There is marked restriction of passive and active range of motion. Physical therapy and corticosteroid injections may be helpful in some cases. Surgery will be required for more advanced cases.
