Extractions: Back to ACR Fact Sheets Tendinitis/Bursitis WHAT IS TENDINITIS? Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon. Tendons are the thick fibrous cords that attach muscles to bone. They function to transmit the power generated by a muscle contraction to move a bone. WHAT IS BURSITIS? Bursitis is inflammation or irritation of a bursa. Bursae are small sacs located between bone and other moving structures such as muscles, skin or tendons. The bursa allows smooth gliding between these structures. Since both tendons and bursae are located near joints, inflammation in these soft tissues will often be perceived by patients as joint pain and mistaken for arthritis. Symptoms of bursitis and tendinitis are similar: pain and stiffness aggravated by movement. Pain may be prominent at night. Almost any tendon or bursa in the body can be affected, but those located around a joint are affected most often. Tendinitis and bursitis are usually temporary conditions, but may become recurrent or chronic problems. Unlike arthritis, they do not cause deformity, but can restrain motion. CAUSE The most common cause of tendinitis and bursitis is injury or overuse during work or play, particularly if the patient is poorly conditioned, has bad posture, or uses the affected limb in an awkward position. Occasionally an infection within the bursa or tendon sheath will be responsible for the inflammation. Tendinitis or bursitis may be associated with diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, thyroid disease and diabetes.

Extractions: What is bursitis? Inflammation of the bursa is known as bursitis. A bursa is a small sac containing fluid that lies between tendons and bones. A bursa allows a tendon to move smoothly over a bone by acting as an anti-friction device and shielding tendons from rubbing against bones. Bursae are found in the knee, elbow, shoulder and wrist. If the tendons become thickened and bumpy from excessive use, the bursa is subjected to increased friction and may become inflamed. Where are the symptoms? The main symptom of bursitis is pain. In some cases, especially for shoulder bursitis, people may experience some restriction of movement. How is bursitis recognized?

Extractions: Updated: 3/2002 Bursitis simply put is the inflammation of a bursa. Every person has hundreds of bursae scattered throughout the body. The function of a bursa is to decrease friction between two surfaces that move in different directions. Therefore, you tend to find bursae at points where muscles, ligaments, and tendons glide over bones. The bursae can be thought of as a ziplock bag with a small amount of oil and no air inside. In the normal state, this would provide a slippery surface that would have almost no friction. A problem arises when a bursa becomes inflamed. It loses its gliding capabilities, and becomes more and more irritated when it is moved. MMG Bursitis can either result from a repetitive movement or due to prolonged or excessive pressure. An example of prolonged movement is the condition called Miners Elbow in which a bursa over the elbow joint is inflamed from repetitive motions such as swinging a miners pick. This same syndrome is see more commonly today in professions such as custodians who repetitively push and pull a vacuum.

Bursae are small, fluid-filled, sacs that protect muscles and tendons from irritation during joint articulation. Motion around the joints involving muscles and tendons is meant to be smooth and painless. The condition known as bursitis is inflammation or irritation of a bursa. Pain, stiffness, tenderness and a loss of range of motion are typical of what is generally a temporary condition resulting from overuse or outright injury. Additionally, pain is normally worse with motion and is sometimes accompanied by swelling and a sense of warmth or heat in the affected area. The condition can also result or be aggravated by poor ergonomic conditions. An athlete who runs five miles, hits the tennis courts and then sits slumped at a computer on a fat wallet with a chair with no lumbar support is asking for hip problems and probably trochanteric bursitis. Tendons are thick fibrous cords, not unlike thin rope, that attach muscles to bones in the area of articulating joints. It is common for athletes to experience simultaneous tendonitis and bursitis. Both conditions can also be associated with rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disease, and diabetes.

Extractions: Pre-Patellar Bursitis There are numerous problems around the knee that can be caused by inflammation of a structure called a bursa The term used to describe inflammation of a bursa is bursitis - and pre-patellar bursitis simply refers to inflammation of the bursa that is located in front (pre-) of the kneecap (or patella). Where is the prepatellar bursa, and what does it do? A bursa is a normal structure, and there are bursae (the plural of bursa) all over the body. These structures occur where ever the skin, muscles or tendons need to slide over a bony prominence. Bursae are nothing more that sacks made up of thin tissue that is very slippery. This tissue sack is lubricated with a small amount of fluid inside that helps reduce the friction where skin, muscles or tendons need to slide over a bony prominence. The pre-patellar bursa is located between the front of the patella and the overlying skin. This bursa allows the patella to slide freely underneath the skin as we bend and straighten the knee.

Extractions: Impingement Web Resources Available The shoulder is a very complex piece of machinery. Its elegant design gives the shoulder joint great range of motionbut not much stability. As long as all the parts are in good working order, the shoulder can move freely and painlessly. Many people refer to any pain in the shoulder as bursitis. The term bursitis really only means that the part of the shoulder called the bursa is inflamed. Tendonitis is when a tendon gets inflamed and can be another source of pain in the shoulder. Many different problems can cause inflammation of the bursa or tendons. Impingement syndrome is one of those problems.

http://www.ncemi.org/cse/cse0911.htm

Extractions: Back to table of contents Following minimal trauma or repetitive motion, a nonarticular synovial sac, or bursa, protecting a tendon or prominent bone becomes swollen, tender, and inflamed. Because there is no joint involved, there is no decreased range of motion, but, if the tendon sheath is involved, there may be some stiffness and pain with motion. Obtain a detailed history of the injury or precipitating activity document a.thorough physical examination, and rule out a joint effusion (see below). Prepare the skin with alcohol and antiseptic solution and 1% lidocaine anesthetic. Puncture the swollen bursa with a #18 or #20 needle, using aseptic technique, and withdraw some fluid to drain the effusion and rule out a bacterial infection. Examine a Gram stain of the effusion and send a sample for leukocyte count and culture. If there is any sign of a bacterial infection, prescribe appropriate oral antibiotics. (Bacterial infections tend to be gram-positive cocci and respond well to cephalexin or dicloxacillin 500mg tid x 7d.) Bacterial infections may also respond to direct injection of antibiotics. Severe inflammatory bursitis may require injection of local anesthetics (lidocaine, bupivacaine) and corticosteroids like methylprednisolone (Solu-Medrol) 40mg or betamethasone (Celestone Soluspan) 0.25-0.5mg.
