Abstract

The subacromial fat was studied using cadaver dissections and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). We found that the subacromial fat is not loose connective tissue, but a fat pad surrounded by a fascia. The measurements of this fat pad are presented and the clinical relevance for orthopedics and radiology particularly for the impingement syndrome of the shoulder is discussed.
