Bursitis What is a bursa? Mark Dr Rob Hicks responds A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that usually overlays a bone or a joint and acts as a shock absorber. There are two types: . Anatomical bursae normally occur around the body where tendons cross bones or joints. The complex knee joint has 15 bursae, for example. . Adventitious bursae are not part of the normal body structure but develop when the soft tissue overlying a bone suffers repeated friction or trauma. An example of this type is when one arises over the pelvic bone in the buttock muscles because someone has been sitting on a hard chair for several hours a day. If a bursa becomes inflamed then it's called bursitis and certain occupations predispose people to this. For example, if the bursa in front of the kneecap becomes irritated by someone kneeling for long periods of time it's called pre-patella bursitis, more commonly known as 'housemaid's knee'. 'Clergyman's knee' is another one, but in this case the bursa affected is different because of the different kneeling position. Students leaning on their elbows while studying or drinking at the bar may develop bursitis of the elbow or 'student's elbow'. It's best not to stay in the same position for long periods of time if bursitis is to be avoided. When this isn't possible then protective padding, such as knee or elbow pads, will help to reduce the pressure on the bursa.

What is tendinopathy? Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa , a small sac of fluid that cushions and lubricates an area between tendon and bone or around a joint. The inflammation can cause the bursa to swell with fluid. Bursitis can occur anywhere in the body where there is a bursa, usually near a joint. The condition is often painful. Tendinopathy is a term used by tendon experts to collectively describe tendinitis ( tendon inflammation) and tendinosis (a slower-healing series of microtears to the tendon). This term is not yet widely used. Your health professional may still use the term "tendinitis" to describe these tendon problems. Bursitis and tendinopathy can affect anyone, but those who perform repetitive tasks in their jobs, sports, or daily activities are at greater risk. It's likely that some of your daily activities, such as tool use, gardening, cooking, cleaning, and keyboarding, require repetitive movement. Also, continuous pressure or stress on a joint structure increases your risk of developing bursitis. For example, carpet layers who work on their knees all day can develop bursitis over the kneecap. What are common causes of bursitis and tendinopathy?

More Sports Wednesday, September 1 Bursitis As more and more people exercise to benefit their physical health, "overuse" or "chronic" injuries are becoming more and more common. One of these, bursitis, can afflict anyone who incurs repetitive stress to a joint, particularly the knee, elbow and shoulder. Join Dr. Andrew Turtel, a medical director for the Women's World Cup and a member of the Association of Professional Team Physicians (PTP) as he discusses bursitis its causes, treatments and how best to prevent it from happening to you. What is bursitis? Dr. Turtel: There are bursa all over the body - in the shoulder, the knee, the elbow, anywhere there is a major prominence in the bone. Basically, bursa sacs allow the skin to slide over the bony prominence. For instance, the skin on the hand is pretty close to the bone; if it weren't you couldn't get a firm grip on things. You can think of the bursa as an empty balloon with a drop of oil in it - one side of the balloon is attached to the bony surface and the other to the underside of the surface of the skin and it slides. If you have a lot of trauma to the area for instance, if you are a plumber and you spend a lot of time on your knees the bursa sac, specifically the cells that line the bursa sac, can become inflamed, secreting fluid that fills the sac.

A bursa is a closed, fluid-filled sac that functions as a cushion and gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as in the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. When the bursa becomes inflamed, the condition is known as bursitis. Bursitis is usually a temporary condition. It may restrain motion, but generally does not cause deformity. What causes bursitis? The most common causes of bursitis are injury or overuse, although infection may also be a cause. Bursitis is also associated with other diseases, such as arthritis, thyroid disease, infection, and diabetes. What are the symptoms of bursitis? The following are the most common symptoms of bursitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Bursitis can cause pain, localized tenderness, and limited motion. Swelling and redness may occur if the inflamed bursa is close to the surface (superficial). Chronic bursitis may involve repeated attacks of pain, swelling, and tenderness, which may lead to the deterioration of muscles and a limited range of motion.

University of Washington, Seattle Last updated Thursday, February 10, 2005 Figure 1 - Soft tissue rheumatic syndromes affect the structures around the joints (bone, muscle, bursa, and tendon) About Basics of bursitis and tendinitis Bursitis and tendinitis are conditions that are also known as soft tissue rheumatic syndromes. A syndrome is a group of signs and symptoms that occur together and indicate a particular problem. This type of syndrome produces pain, swelling, or inflammation in the tissues and structures around a joint, such as the tendons, ligaments, bursae, and muscles (see figure 1). Immediate medical attention If fever, chills, persistent redness, or swelling occur in a person with a soft tissue rheumatic syndrome, the person should see a doctor immediately to rule out infection. Facts and myths Because the structures affected by soft tissue rheumatic syndromes are near joints, pain in these areas may be mistaken for arthritis. The difference is that arthritis means inflammation in the joint itself, not in the structures around the joint. How useful was this page or article?

Bursitis by Robert Leach, MD Definition Causes Risk Factors ... Prevention Definition Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa. A bursa is a thin, slippery piece of tissue that protects tendons. Tendons are the tissues that connect muscles to bones. The bursa reduces friction between the tendon and bone, allowing the tendon to glide easily over the bone. There are many bursae in the body protecting underlying tendons. Bursitis most often occurs in the following joints: Shoulder Elbow Knee Hip Ankle Bursitis in the Shoulder www.nucleusinc.com Causes Acute bursitis may be caused by: A blow to an area containing a bursa Overexertion of a joint (for example: swimming a long distance or throwing a ball many times) Click or Scroll for More Content Chronic bursitis is usually caused by long-term overuse of one muscle-tendon unit, for example a joint. The repeated motion of that muscle-tendon unit causes friction in the bursa. As the activity continues, the bursa becomes inflamed and may fill with fluid. The bursa thickens and does not function well. Both bursa and tendon may become irritated. Risk Factors A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. Risk factors for bursitis include:

/ United States Medical Professional Corporate Investor Relations Area of interest Medical Professional Corporate Investor Relations Products: MIS Hip Knee Elbow ... Dental Bursitis Introduction Nearly 60 percent of cases of hip pain are caused by trochanteric bursitis, the painful inflammation of the bursa that covers the part of the thighbone (femur) called the greater trochanter. Triggered by an injury or disease, this form of bursitis can affect anyone, but is more common in women and the middle-aged or elderly than in men or younger people. Anatomy Small fluid-filled sacs (bursae) cushion the spaces between muscles, tendons, and bones throughout the body. In the hip, several bursae sit on the outside portion of the thighbone, which is called the greater trochanter. This is a broad, flat area of bone that keeps several large muscles in place. (If you press against the side of your hip, you can feel the greater trochanter.) If one of the trochanteric bursa becomes irritated or inflamed, it may gradually thicken and cause pain. Causes Abnormal patterns of walking and standing cause 95 percent of the cases of hip bursitis. These gait problems may simply be the result of standing too long, or may result from a difference in the length of the legs. Either of these situations may put extra pressure on the hip, resulting in irritation and inflammation of the bursae.
