Endoscopic Resection of Prepatellar Bursa.

Prepatellar bursitis can be septic and aseptic. Treatment for prepatellar bursitis is determined primarily by the cause of bursitis and secondarily by the pathological change in the bursa. Nonoperative treatment is the mainstay of treatment, and bursectomy is indicated for intractable bursitis resistant to conservative treatment.

A woman in her sixties with a knee injury after a fall.

Background: The diagnosis of necrotising soft tissue infections (NSTIs, necrotising fasciitis, myositis and cellulitis) may be clinically challenging, and can result in fatal outcomes.

Case Presentation: A previously healthy woman in her sixties fell and cut her right patella. The wound was complicated by localised infection, which subsequently developed into a bacterial bursitis.

[Damage to periarticular soft tissues in real clinical practice: frequency, nature, effectiveness of non - steroidal anti - inflammatory drugs].

Unlabelled: Damage to periarticular soft tissues is a common pathology that causes severe pain and impaired function of the musculoskeletal system.

Aim: To determine the frequency, nature and clinical features of damage to periarticular soft tissues in real clinical practice, as well as the effectiveness of non - steroidal anti - inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the debut of treatment of this pathology.

Materials And Methods: During the observational study, the frequency of defeat of the periarticular soft tissues in the structure of visits to 68 outpatient orthopedic surgeons in different cities of Russia for 1 month was estimated.

Surgical Management of a Large Chronic Prepatellar Bursitis: 2-Stage Technique.

Treatment of a large chronic prepatellar bursitis can be difficult to manage surgically because of a high rate of local complications and a significant chance of recurrence. We present a 2-stage technique using negative pressure dressings which produced a good outcome with no recurrence at one year after surgery.

Pediatric Infectious Prepatellar Bursitis with .

We present the first reported case of septic prepatellar bursitis with in a 2-year-old female. Although it is a well-established cause of osteoarticular infections in the pediatric population, . has never been reported as the etiology for septic bursitis.

Management of septic bursitis.

Superficial septic bursitis is common, although accurate incidence data are lacking. The olecranon and prepatellar bursae are the sites most often affected. Whereas the clinical diagnosis of superficial bursitis is readily made, differentiating aseptic from septic bursitis usually requires examination of aspirated bursal fluid.

Prototheca wickerhamii prepatellar bursitis in an immunocompetent woman: A case report.

Prototheca wickerhamii is a rare cause of septic prepatellar bursitis. We report a patient who had no apparent immunodeficiency developed P. wickerhamii prepatellar bursitis following intra-bursal corticosteroid injection.

Surgical Outcomes in Endoscopic Versus Open Bursectomy of the Septic Prepatellar or Olecranon Bursa.

In this study, the authors investigated the viability of endoscopic bursectomy as a treatment for septic prepatellar and olecranon bursitis. Conventional treatment of septic bursitis consists of aspiration, antibiotics, and rest. When conservative treatment fails, however, surgical intervention is sometimes required to resolve the infection.

Methicillin-resistant patellar tendon abscess and septic prepatellar bursitis in an injection drug user.

We report a case of intratendinous patellar abscess and prepatellar septic bursitis following direct inoculation in a 26-year-old male injection drug user. The patient presented with 2 days of progressive knee pain, swelling, and erythema. Computed tomography demonstrated an enlarged patellar tendon with central low attenuation.

Septic Infrapatellar Bursitis in an Immunocompromised Female.

Bursitis is a relatively common occurrence that may be caused by traumatic, inflammatory, or infectious processes. Septic bursitis most commonly affects the olecranon and prepatellar bursae. accounts for 80% of all septic bursitis, and most cases affect men and are associated with preceding trauma.

Endoscopic versus Open Bursectomy for Prepatellar and Olecranon Bursitis.

Objectives Bursitis of the olecranon and the patella are not rare disorders, and conservative management is successful in most cases. However, when patients do not respond to conservative treatment, open excisional surgery or, recently, endoscopic bursectomy, can be used. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of open and endoscopic treatments of olecranon and prepatellar bursitis.

Novel Treatment of Prepatellar Bursitis.

A 31-yr-old soldier presented with an 8-mo history of right prepatellar bursitis with 1-mo history of pain and loss of range of motion. His symptoms did not respond to activity modification, compression, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, or repeated aspirations with fenestration. After thorough discussion, the soldier and his provider reviewed the literature and found a single case report of intrabursal sclerotherapy in two patients with recalcitrant prepatellar bursitis.

One- vs 2-Stage Bursectomy for Septic Olecranon and Prepatellar Bursitis: A Prospective Randomized Trial.

Objective: To assess the optimal surgical approach and costs for patients hospitalized with septic bursitis.

Patients And Methods: From May 1, 2011, through December 24, 2014, hospitalized patients with septic bursitis at University of Geneva Hospitals were randomized (1:1) to receive 1- vs 2-stage bursectomy. All the patients received postsurgical oral antibiotic drug therapy for 7 days.

Treatment and outcome with traumatic lesions of the olecranon and prepatellar bursa: a literature review apropos a retrospective analysis including 552 cases.

Background: Traumatic lesions of the olecranon bursa (OB) and prepatellar bursa (PB) are injuries commonly seen in orthopaedic trauma units. These injuries are associated with a high rate of complications. At present, only little is known about the incidence, complication rate, and treatment approaches in patients with acute open bursae.

The Extensor Mechanism: Imaging and Intervention.

We present an overview of imaging and intervention of the extensor mechanism of the knee. Particular focus is placed on the evaluation of patellofemoral tracking disorders, patellar and quadriceps tendinosis and tears, patellar fracture, lateral patellar condyle patellar friction syndrome, and prepatellar bursitis. Anatomical and biomechanical factors contributing to these disorders are considered.

A Rare Form of Bursitis with Negative Serology: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Brucellosis is still endemic in certain parts of the world including the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Latin America, and African regions. Osteoarticular manifestations are common presenting features. Brucellosis presenting as prepatellar bursitis has already been reported.

Common Superficial Bursitis.

Superficial bursitis most often occurs in the olecranon and prepatellar bursae. Less common locations are the superficial infrapatellar and subcutaneous (superficial) calcaneal bursae. Chronic microtrauma (e.

Septic olecranon and prepatellar bursitis in hockey players: a report of three cases.

Septic bursitis (SB) is an important differential diagnosis in athletes presenting with an acute subcutaneous swelling of the elbow or knee. Prompt recognition is essential to minimize recovery time and prevent the spread of infection. Due to the significant overlap in clinical features, it is often difficult to differentiate SB from non-septic bursitis (NSB) without bursal aspirate analysis.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Asymptomatic Knees in Collegiate Basketball Players: The Effect of One Season of Play.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of abnormal structural findings using 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the asymptomatic knees of male and female collegiate basketball players before and after a season of high-intensity basketball.

Design: Institutional review board-approved prospective case series.

Solitary subcutaneous sarcoidosis with massive chronic prepatellar bursal involvement.

A 56-year-old man presented with a painless prepatellar mass of the left knee. MR images demonstrated a large, well-defined mass with heterogeneous intermediate signal intensity on T1- and proton density-weighted images. Mild, heterogeneous enhancement was noted after the intravenous administration of gadolinium.
