Overview

Based on the nature of the inflammation, bursitis may classified into two subtypes: septic and aseptic. Common anatomic location include the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle. The most common bursitis subtypes include subacromial, olecranon, trochanteric, prepatellar, and retrocalcaneal. Moreover, based on the location of the affected bursa in relation to the skin, bursitis may be further classified into two additional subtypes: superficial and deep. Superficial bursa are more prone to get infected with bacteria and develop septic bursitis. Common locations of septic bursitis include the knee (prepatellar bursitis) and elbow (olecranon bursitis).[1][2][3][4]

Classification

Based on the nature of inflammation bursitis may classified as:[1][2][3][4]

Based on the location of the affected bursa in relation to the skin, bursitis may be further classified into two subtypes: superficial and deep.

Additionally, based on duration of symptoms and presentation bursitis may classified as acute, subacute or chronic.
