Condition characterized by inflammation of one or more bursae (small sacs) of synovial fluid in the body.
An inflammation of the bursa, which is a synoviallined sac of fluid that helps reduce friction between tendon and bone or tendon and ligament.
Inflammation of the bursa sac, can be an overuse syndrome.
This condition involves inflammation of the bursae, small, fluid-filled sacs that help reduce friction between bones and other moving structures in the joints. The inflammation may result from arthritis in the joint or injury or infection of the bursae. Bursitis produces pain and tenderness and may limit the movement of nearby joints.
The lubricating sac that reduces friction between tendons and ligaments or tendons and bones. The more common types of bursitis are of the shoulders, the elbows, the knees, and the big toe (a bunion).
Inflammation, causing pain, of the fluid- filled sac between a tendon and a bone.
Inflammation of a bursa, often precipitated by injury, infection, excessive trauma or effort, or arthritis or similar condition and characterized by pain and often limited mobility. Common locations include the shoulder, knee, and hip. Treatment is by analgesics, anti-inflammatory agents, immobilization of the affected area, and in some cases the use of corticosteroid injections at the affected site.
Inflammation of a fluid-filled synovial sac located over a bony prominence or point of articulation between tendon and bone.
An inflammation of a bursa, the fluid-filled sac that serves to reduce friction against moving bones. Bursitis most commonly affects bursae of the shoulder, the elbow, the hip, and areas directly above and below the knee. Repeated movement can cause persistent friction between a bursa and the muscles and bones surrounding it. The ongoing friction causes irritation, swelling, and inflammation of the bursa, which becomes enlarged and puts pressure on nearby tissues. Movement increases the pressure, causing more pain. Joint movement near the inflammation is limited by the pain. The entire area affected by bursitis eventually becomes painful. The pain may radiate to nearby muscles and tendons. The site may also feel hot to the touch and become red and swollen. When bursitis persists, the bursa can become calcified, and deposits may form, limiting movement of the tendons.
Inflammation within a bursa. Acute bursitis is usually the result of injury, especially on the knee or elbow, when the prominent part of the joint becomes swollen, hot, painful and red.
Inflammation of a bursa, especially between bony prominences and muscle or tendon, as in the shoulder and knee. It is typically caused by repeated stresses placed on a joint during work or play, but sometimes results from sudden trauma, from inflammatory joint disease, or bacterial invasion of the joint (“septic bursitis”). Common forms include rotator cuff, miner’s or tennis elbow, and prepatellar bursitis. Fluid accumulation in the bursa results in irritation, inflammation, and sudden or gradual pain, as well as symptoms such as impaired joint movement.
Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa, a fluid-filled sac that lies between tissues and allows tendons, ligaments, muscles, and skin to glide smoothly over one another during activity.
A painful irritation of the fluid-filled sac that cushions certain joints and tendons.
The inflammatory response affecting a bursa, which is a sac or cavity filled with fluid. Bursae are situated in the body at sites where the potential for friction exists.
Bursitis is the inflammation of a bursa, a sac filled with fluid, leading to pain and swelling. This condition can arise due to pressure, friction, injury to the joint’s surrounding membrane, or infection. An example of bursitis is prepatellar bursitis, commonly known as housemaid’s knee, which occurs from prolonged kneeling on a hard surface. The treatment approach involves avoiding further pressure on the affected area and taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate symptoms. In case of an infected bursa, antibiotic medication may be necessary to address the infection.
