Bursitis at the knee

Bursitis at the knee

A bursa is a thin flattened fluid-containing balloon that acts as a buffer where muscles pass over bony points or it may lie between two muscles pulling in different directions to reduce friction. It can also protect bony prominences where they lie just under the skin.

Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa and it is associated with swelling and pain. Two main bursae may be involved in bursitis at the knee: the prepatellar bursa, the infrapatellar bursa and, less commonly, the pes anserine bursa.

- Testimonials
  “Your office staff are very much in tune with the atmosphere of your practice; I guess the unfussy caring tone you set spreads to all your staff and I am sure all of us who come to you as patients appreciate that as well as having top professional treatment we are helped by the warm and friendly atmosphere and the way you all work as a team. I don’t think you would want any of us to make speeches each time we come but once in a while, it seems important to say thank you”.
