A small bursa between the coracohumeral ligament and the superior capsule of the glenohumeral joint, in the rotator interval region. It may become inflamed in adhesive capsulitis where the rotator interval is characteristically fibrosed.
The coracohumeral ligament bursa region is directly involved in adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), where the rotator interval and coracohumeral ligament become contracted and fibrosed. Ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation targets the inferior glenohumeral capsule and rotator interval simultaneously. Arthroscopic capsular release in frozen shoulder includes division of the coracohumeral ligament and release of this interval.
Coracohumeral ligament and interval bursal fibrosis producing loss of external rotation and elevation in adhesive capsulitis, managed by guided hydrodilatation or arthroscopic capsular release.
