These bursas, when damaged byblows, become deeply injected, and secrete an abundant fluid, whichmay be hemorrhagic; M-hile later, when the fluid becomes absorbed, 1 H.

Notice the deltoid and its origin fromthe edge of the acromion. Notice the subdeltoid or subacromial bursa with its roofmade by the under surface of the acromion and by the fascia beneath the upper por-tion of the deltoid. Its base is on the greater tuberosity and the tendon of the supra-spinatus which separates it like an interarticular fibrocartilage from the true joint(E. A. Codman). The treatment of traumatic bursitis may be extremely simple, or itmay be intricate and prolonged. The freshly damaged limb shouldbe immobilized in a position to relax the overlying muscles—the arm
