Overview
Bursitis Classification
Based on the nature of inflammation bursitis may classified into 2 subtypes: septic and aseptic. Common anatomic location include shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle. Most common bursitis subtypes include subacromial, olecranon, trochanteric, prepatellar, and retrocalcaneal. Moreover, based on the location of the bursa from the skin, bursitis may be classified into 2 subtyopes: superficial and deep. Superficial bursa are more prone to get infected with bacteria and develop septic bursitis. common location of septic bursitis include knee (prepatellar bursitis), and elbow (olecranon bursitis).[1][2][3][4]
Bursitis Pathophysiology
Bursitis is characterized by acute or chronic inflammation of a bursa and buildup of fluid in the bursa sac. A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between a bone and other moving parts: muscles, tendons, or skin. Over 160 bursa are found throughout the body and only few of them can cause bursitis. Aseptic bursitis can be caused by overused and repetitive injuries to the joint, abdominal bony structure and crystal deposit in the bursa. It commonly affects knee or elbow, from kneeling or leaning on the elbows longer than usual. Moreover, septic bursitis can be caused by bacterial infection of the bursa through the skin injury following repetitive trauma.[2][5][6]
