Inury of the Week – Bursitis
Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 08:33PM Bursitis is defined as an inflammation of the bursa. Bursa is a small synovial fluid filled sac made of connective tissue. This bursa sac acts as a cushion to reduce friction and increase glide when bones, tendons and ligaments move over other soft tissue and joints. This protective cushion works to create smooth, uninhibited movement. If bursae were not present tendons would fray and rupture with repeated movement over bony prominences.
