	*[[~~Septic~~ bursitis]]		==Background==
	*~~Shoulder~~		*Inflammation of a bursa (fluid-filled sac that reduces friction between tendons, bones, and skin)
	**[[Subacromial bursitis]]		*May be traumatic, overuse (repetitive microtrauma), infectious ([[septic bursitis]]), or inflammatory ([[gout]], [[rheumatoid arthritis]])
	*Elbow		*Olecranon and prepatellar bursae are most commonly affected in the ED
	**[[Olecranon bursitis]]
	*Knee		==Types by Location==
			*Shoulder: [[Subacromial bursitis]]
			*Elbow: [[Olecranon bursitis]]
			*Knee:
	**[[Prepatellar bursitis (nonseptic)\|Prepatellar bursitis]]		**[[Prepatellar bursitis (nonseptic)\|Prepatellar bursitis]]
	**[[Pes anserine bursitis]]		**[[Pes anserine bursitis]]
	*[[Hip bursitis]]		*[[Hip bursitis]]: Trochanteric, iliopsoas, ischial, iliopectineal
	**~~Trochanteric Bursitis~~		*Ankle: Retrocalcaneal bursitis
	**~~Iliopsoas Bursitis~~
	**~~Ischial Bursitis~~		==Clinical Features==
	**~~Iliopectineal Bursitis~~		*Localized swelling, warmth, tenderness over the affected bursa
			*Pain with direct pressure or movement of adjacent joint
			*May have limited range of motion
			*'''Red flags for [[septic bursitis]]:''' fever, overlying cellulitis, significant erythema, history of penetrating trauma or immunocompromise

			==Evaluation==
			*Clinical diagnosis in most cases
			*'''Aspiration''' (bursocentesis) if concern for [[septic bursitis]]:
			**Cell count, Gram stain, culture, crystal analysis
			**WBC >2,000/μL with >50% PMNs suggests infection (lower threshold than septic arthritis)
			*X-ray to rule out fracture or foreign body if trauma history

			==Management==
			*'''Non-septic:''' Rest, ice, compression, NSAIDs, activity modification
			*'''Septic:''' Antibiotics covering [[Staphylococcus aureus]] (most common organism), serial aspiration or surgical drainage
			*Avoid corticosteroid injection until [[septic bursitis]] is ruled out

			==Disposition==
			*Discharge non-septic bursitis with RICE, NSAIDs, and PCP follow-up
			*Septic bursitis: outpatient antibiotics if mild, admit if systemically ill or immunocompromised

			==See Also==
			*[[Septic bursitis]]
			*[[Septic arthritis]]
