Article Synopsis
  • The suprapatellar bursa is located near the knee and helps reduce friction during movement by changing from a single-membrane to a double-membrane structure.
  • Research was conducted on cadaver knees to observe the dynamics of this bursa and determine the flexion angle at which the double-membrane structure appears.
  • Findings indicate that this change occurs at about 91° of knee flexion, suggesting the bursa could affect knee movement and pain near this angle, warranting further research in living subjects.
