The subscapular bursa to the shoulder joint is one of the several bursae associated with the shoulder joint. It is located between the joint capsule and the tendon of the subscapularis muscle. The subscapular bursa usually is continuous with the synovial cavity of the joint cavity. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac, lined with synovial membranes, that occurs near a joint.
