Bursitis is the inflammation of one or more bursae (synovial sacs) of synovial fluid in the body. They are lined with a synovial membrane that secretes a lubricating synovial fluid. [1] There are more than 150 bursae in the human body. [1] The bursae rest at the points where internal functionaries, such as muscles and tendons, slide across bone.
Subacromial bursitis. Subacromial bursitis is a condition caused by inflammation of the bursa that separates the superior surface of the supraspinatus tendon (one of the four tendons of the rotator cuff) from the overlying coraco-acromial ligament, acromion, and coracoid (the acromial arch) and from the deep surface of the deltoid muscle.

De Quervain syndrome occurs when two tendons that control movement of the thumb become constricted by their tendon sheath in the wrist. [3][5][6] This results in pain and tenderness on the thumb side of the wrist. [3] Radial abduction of the thumb is painful. [6] On some occasions, there is uneven movement or triggering of the thumb with radial ...
Bursitis is a form of joint pain caused by inflamed fluid pockets around joints. It is commonly experienced in the shoulder, elbow and hip, but can occur around any joints that are often used in ...
Ischial bursitis is usually treated conservatively. Lifestyle changes may be advised, avoiding certain exercises and sitting on hard surfaces. [1] Analgesics, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, may be used to relieve pain. [1] Ischial bursitis may be treated with medical and surgical interventions if it is persistent or particularly ...
Anterior interosseous syndrome is a medical condition in which damage to the anterior interosseous nerve (AIN), a distal motor and sensory branch of the median nerve, classically with severe weakness of the pincer movement of the thumb and index finger, and can cause transient pain in the wrist (the terminal, sensory branch of the AIN innervates the bones of the carpal tunnel).
Calcific bursitis refers to calcium deposits within the bursae. This most occurs in the shoulder area. The most common bursa for calcific bursitis to occur is the subacromial bursa. A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that reduces friction, and facilitates movements between its adjacent tissues (i.e., between tendon and bone, two muscles or ...
Olecranon bursitis. Relatively common. [2] Olecranon bursitis is a condition characterized by swelling, redness, and pain at the tip of the elbow. [1][2] If the underlying cause is due to an infection, fever may be present. [2] The condition is relatively common and is one of the most frequent types of bursitis. [2]
