Bursitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion and reduce friction between bones, tendons, and muscles near joints. The inflammation can result from repetitive motion, prolonged pressure, or injury, leading to pain, swelling, and limited joint movement. Common sites for bursitis include the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee. Repetitive activities, such as overhead lifting or kneeling, and conditions like rheumatoid arthritis can contribute to bursitis development. Symptoms often include localized pain, tenderness, and swelling around the affected joint. Diagnosis involves a physical examination, imaging studies like X-rays or MRI, and sometimes fluid analysis from the affected bursa. Treatment typically includes rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications, and, in severe cases, aspiration of excess fluid or corticosteroid injections. Preventive measures include proper warm-up before physical activity, using protective equipment, and avoiding prolonged repetitive movements. Understanding bursitis is crucial in orthopaedics and sports medicine, guiding the management of this common inflammatory condition.
