| aseptic bursitis | Inflammation of a bursa that is not caused by infection. A bursa is a closed fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. When the bursa becomes inflamed, the condition is known as bursitis. most commonly this is not an infectious condition (aseptic bursitis). (12 Dec 1998) |

| bicipital bursitis | Inflammation of the intertubercular bursa of the biceps brachii muscle of the shoulder of the horse, usually the result of trauma. Synonym: bicipital bursitis, shoulder bursitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bursitis | <pathology> Inflammation of a bursa, occasionally accompanied by a calcific deposit in the underlying supraspinatus tendon, the most common site is the subdeltoid bursa. (18 Nov 1997) |
| bursitis, aseptic | A bursa is a closed fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. When the bursa becomes inflamed, the condition is known as bursitis. most commonly this is not an infectious condition (aseptic bursitis). (12 Dec 1998) |
| bursitis, elbow | A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between moving tissues of the body. The bursa at the tip of the elbow is called the olecranon bursa. Bursitis is usually not infectious, but the bursa can become infected. Treatment of non-infectious bursitis includes rest, ice, and medications for inflammation and pain. Infectious bursitis is treated with antibiotics, aspiration, and surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bursitis, hip | A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between moving tissues of the body. There are two major bursae of the hip. Bursitis is usually not infectious, but the bursa can become infected. Treatment of non-infectious bursitis includes rest, ice, and medications for inflammation and pain. Infectious bursitis is treated with antibiotics, aspiration, and surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bursitis, knee | A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between moving tissues of the body. There are three major bursae of the knee. Bursitis is usually not infectious, but the bursa can become infected. Treatment of non-infectious bursitis includes rest, ice, and medications for inflammation and pain. Infectious bursitis is treated with antibiotics, aspiration, and surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bursitis, septic | A bursa is a closed fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. When the bursa becomes inflamed, the condition is known as bursitis. When the bursa is infected with bacteria, the condition is called septic bursitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bursitis, shoulder | A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between moving tissues of the body. There are two major bursae of the shoulder. Bursitis is usually not infectious, but the bursa can become infected. Treatment of non-infectious bursitis includes rest, ice, and medications for inflammation and pain. Infectious bursitis is treated with antibiotics, aspiration, and surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcaneal bursitis | Inflammation of one of the bursae related to the tuber calcanei, usually a result of trauma to the subcutaneous bursa; occurs most frequently in the horse. Synonym: capped hock. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcific bursitis | A bursa is a thin fluid-filled sac that reduces friction forces between tissues of the body. Chronic (repeated of long-standing) inflammation of the bursa (bursitis) can lead to calcification of the bursa. This is referred to as calcific bursitis. The calcium deposition (calcification) can occur as long as the inflammation is present. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prepatellar bursitis | An adventitious occupational bursitis occurring over the tibial tuberosity, the area of contact when kneeling; not to be confused with infrapatellar bursitis. Synonym: prepatellar bursitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hip bursitis | A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between moving tissues of the body. There are two major bursae of the hip. Bursitis is usually not infectious, but the bursa can become infected. Treatment of non-infectious bursitis includes rest, ice, and medications for inflammation and pain. Infectious bursitis is treated with antibiotics, aspiration, and surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| septic bursitis | A bursa is a closed fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. When the bursa becomes inflamed, the condition is known as bursitis. When the bursa is infected with bacteria, the condition is called septic bursitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| septic bursitis. Bypass | An operation in which the surgeon creates a new pathway for the movement of substances in the body. (12 Dec 1998) |
