Knee Bursitis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Some joints are particularly susceptible to <\/span>Inflammation of the bursa sac: <\/strong>Knee-Joints are also among them (Source<\/a>). <\/span>Bursitis is inflammation or irritation of a bursa sac (Source<\/a>). You have these sacs all over your body (Source<\/a>). Therefore, bursitis is a standard condition that can appear in your knee, as knee bursitis (Source<\/a>). There are several bursa sacs on the knee, which can become inflamed or irritated due to incorrect or excessive strain (Source<\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n

Accordingly, a distinction is made between bursitis prepatellaris or prepatellar (Source<\/a>) and bursitis infrapatellaris, for example (Source<\/a>). Some occupational groups are particularly susceptible to bursitis of the knee (Source<\/a>). If the doctor finds an inflammation of the bursa in the knee, knee bursitis, it is usually the bursa in front of the kneecap or the one under the kneecap that is affected (Source<\/a>). <\/span><\/p>\n

    \nThere are several bursa sacs in the knee joint that can become painfully inflamed: above the patella (Bursa praepatellaris), in front of and behind the patellar tendon (Bursa infrapatellaris) and inside the knee joint (Bursa Pes anserinus).

    Bursae are hollow spaces filled with liquid and lined with joint mucosa (synovialis). The chronic inflammation of a bursa is called bursitis. The function of the bursae is to reduce friction and pressure in the tissue where tendons, muscles, and bones move against each other.<\/p>\n

    The symptoms of knee bursitis<\/b> are stabbing knee pain<\/a>, pressure pain, or extension deficits of the knee joint. Often the causes are unclear. Work in the knee, impact, and trauma, but also deposited uric acid crystals (gout) are among the causes of knee bursitis joint<\/a>. Often, conservative therapy of bursitis is successful with the help of anti-inflammatory drugs and physiotherapy. In the case of chronic bursitis, there is usually only one operation that helps: the inflamed and scarred bursa on the knee is then removed in a minimally invasive operation.<\/p>\n

    What is a bursa?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    A bursa (bursa synovialis) serves as an elastic, fluid-filled, and freely movable cushion for all the body’s movement organs. Bursa synovialis protect muscles, tendons, and ligaments during movement and loading of the knee joint: As damping organs and sliding surfaces, they enable a smooth, inflammation-free movement sequence.<\/p>\n
