We treated 31 cases of olecranon bursitis and 19 cases of prepatellar bursitis. The average duration of symptoms before surgery was 1.1 years with a range of 3 months to 4 years. All patients had had preoperative aspiration and injection of cortisone. Patients underwent an arthroscopic bursal resection, removing all the bursal sack that could be seen. The results indicated that 86% of patients after olecranon bursectomy had no pain whatsoever. In the patients with prepatellar bursitis, 66% had no pain whatsoever, but we did note some residual tenderness in 24% of the patients, and 10% had pain on kneeling. There were 2 recurrences; 1 patient had rheumatoid arthritis and 1 repetitive daily trauma to the knee. There were no significant complications.

Background: Calcific insertional Achilles tendinopathy(CIAT) with Haglund deformity is a type of recalcitrant tendinopathy. The necessity of concomitant removal of Haglund deformity during CIAT treatment is controversial. The present study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes between Haglund resection and Haglund non-resection in the treatment of CIAT with Haglund deformity.

Article Synopsis
- A study looked at how much patients improved after surgery for snapping scapula syndrome over two years.
- Researchers wanted to find out what factors helped patients feel satisfied with their results and to see if certain conditions led to better improvements.
- They found that patients showed significant improvements in their health scores and pain levels after the surgery, which means the treatment worked pretty well.

This is the first report on a localized pigmented villo-nodular synovitis (PVNS or TSGCT) occurring in the trochanteric bursa. Bursal involvement in PVNS is extremely rare. Most often PVNS occurs either as a localized or diffuse lesion in a major synovial joint, such as the knee, ankle joint or hip joint.

REDCap Cloud, Encinitas, CA, USA.
Background: The subacromial bursa has been found to be a rich, local, source of mesenchymal stem cells but is removed for visualization during rotator cuff repair. Reimplantation of this tissue may improve rotator cuff healing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical outcomes of rotator cuff repair with and without subacromial bursa reimplantation.

Article Synopsis
- Tranexamic acid (TXA) is used to reduce bleeding in hip and knee surgeries, and this study explores its effectiveness in arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs (RCR).
- The study involved 129 patients, comparing those who received TXA to those who did not, and evaluated factors like operating time and visual clarity during surgery.
- Results showed that TXA significantly shortened the operating time and improved visual clarity during certain surgical phases, while also maintaining higher hemoglobin levels by postoperative day 7.
