Article Synopsis
  • A systematic review was conducted to find the best treatment for prepatellar bursitis, which causes significant issues in working-age adults and lacks clear treatment guidelines.
  • The review analyzed data from 10 studies and found no significant difference in recurrence rates between endoscopic and open bursectomy, with 80% of endoscopic patients pain-free after one year.
  • The findings suggest that endoscopic bursectomy is a viable, less invasive option for treating prepatellar bursitis, offering similar outcomes to traditional surgery but with shorter hospital stays.

Materials And Methods: A primary search of electronic databases, grey literature, and trial registries was performed in March 2020.
