The authors introduce an operative technique which is simple and effective for the treatment of the large prepatellar bursitis, avoiding problems by the conventional open technique such as tender scar, infection and recurrence. We treated three cases of the large refractory prepatellar bursitis caused by acute direct trauma. Bursectomies were performed by using an arthroscope and percutaneous multiple sutures were applied to the overlying skin with mattress fashion. There were no complications after treatment over one year follow-up. We suggest that this technique is very useful, greatly minimizes the chance of recurrence and reduces the possibility of post-operative infection.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to know the cause of the tenderness at pes anserinus. Materials and Methods: Out of 24 patients with tenderness at pes anserinus, 23 patients were female and 1 patient was male, and their average age was 65.9 years old. We checked the tenderness at pes anserinus by history taking & physical examniation and then, checked the pes anserinus for the presence of bursitis by US in outpatient clinic. With no evidence of bursitis by US, we injected steroid-lidocaine mixture intraarticularly and checked whether the tenderness disappeared after 2~3 minutes. Results: There was no case with bursitis at pes anserinus by US. The tenderness at pes anserinus diminished in 2-3 minutes after the intraarticular injection of the steroid-lidocaine mixture. After 6 weeks follow up, 16 patients(66.7%) had little or no tenderness at pes anserinus. 8 cases had the recurrence of tenderness recurred, 4 cases underwent arthroscopic operation on the meniscal tear, and 1 case underwent total knee arthroplasty. All cases underwent any operations had the tenderness at pes anserinus disappeared. The others 3 cases did not undergo total knee arthroplasty despite of radiologic obliteration of knee joint adequate for Kellgren-Lawrence grade IV. Conclusion: Without the bursitis at Pes Anserinus, patients the osteoarthritis may have the tenderness due to the referred pain.

과사용 증후군은 정상적인 조직에 최대하 부하(submaximal stress)가 지속되어 발생하는 것이다. 이와 같은 현상은 연부조직의 접합부(junction)에서 주로 일어나며 힘의 전달이 집중되는 곳, 조직의 역학적 성질이 변화되는 곳, 그리고 성장시 빨리 변화하는 성질이 있는 곳에 주로 생긴다. 근육의 불균형이 과사용 증후군의 가장 많은 원인이다. 과거의 부상 이후 부적절한 재활치료 및 각형성 또는 회전 부정정렬(angular and rotational malalignment) 등이 과사용 증후군의 원인이 될 수 있다. 스포츠 훈련 방법의 실수로도 과사용 증후군이 생길 수 있다. 전방 슬관절 동통시 감별해야 할 질환들은 jumper's knee, 슬개건염 혹은 대퇴 사두건염, Osgood-Schlatter 병, Sinding-Larsen-Johansson 병, 슬개골 연골 연화증, 슬개골 전(prepatellar) 혹은 슬개골 하(infrapatellar) 점액낭염, Hoffa's fat pad의 염증, 그리고 특발성 전방 슬관절 동통 증후군(idiopathic anterior knee pain syndrome)등이 있다. 후방 슬관절 통증의 원인 질환으로는 만성 슬와근 염좌, 슬괵건 점액낭염, 경골 골간단의 피로 골절 등이 포함되며 외측 슬관절 통증의 원인으로는 장경대 충돌 증후군(iliotibial band friction syndrome)등이 있을 수 있다. 이외 과사용 증후군과 관련된 슬관절 통증의 원인으로 다분 슬개골(multipartite patella), 내측 경골 스트레스 증후군(medial tibial stress syndrome), 박리성 골연골염, 반월상 연골의 퇴행성 변화 등이 있을 수 있다. 과사용 증후군의 진단 및 치료의 일반적인 접근법은 다섯가지 단계의 프로그램으로 요약될 수 있다. 첫째, 원인 요소를 확인하고, 둘째, 요소를 변경시키고, 셋째, 통증을 조절하고, 넷째, 능동적 재활을 시키고, 그리고 다섯째, 유지시키는 것이다.

Objectives : The purpose of this case series is to investigate and report the effectiveness of oriental medicine treatment and Hominis placenta pharmacopuncture treatment for supraspinatus tendinosis and subdeltoid bursitis. Methods : 4 patients are admitted at Dept. of Oriental Rehabilitation Medicine, Bu-Cheon Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital, diagnosed as supraspinatus tendinosis and subdeltoid bursitis and treated with oriental medicine treatment and Hominis placenta pharmacopuncture. Each case is measured and assessed daily by NRS(Numeric Rating Scale) score and shoulder physical exam. Results : After treatment, patients' shoulder pain are decreased and they showed nearly full ROM(range of movement). In patients with supraspinatus tendinosis and subdeltoid bursitis, oriental medicine treatment and Hominis placenta is good method for pain relief and better movement. Conclusions : As seen in these 4 cases of supraspinatus tendinosis and subdeltoid bursitis, oriental medicine treatment and Hominis placenta pharmacopuncture appears to be effective.

Numerous small fibrinous rice bodies are a common finding in joints afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis(RA) or seronegative arthropathy, Subacromial and subdeltoid bursitis of the shoulder associated with multiple rice body formation is a rare occurrence. To our knowledge, this is the first report to describe the arthroscopic treatment of massive rice bodies in both glenohumeral joint and subacromial-subdeltoid bursae combined with full thickness of rotator cuff in RA. Besides, the MR appearance of subacromial-subdeltoid bursal rice bodies have been previously described in only few recent reports. Therefore, we also describe the MR appearances subacromial-subdeltoid bursae associated with multiple rice bodies in RA.

This is a case report about effect of syeom pharmacopuncture, bee venom and autohemo-seperated regeneration pharmacopuncture(ASRP) for acute traumatic subdeltoid bursitis with partial tear of subscapularis tendon, which was diagnosed by symptoms and MRI(Magnetic resonance imaging) and caused by bongchuna treatment. We evaluated the patient using Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) every two or four days and range of movement(ROM), physical examination of shoulder about one per ten days and observed improvement with reexamination by ultrasonography and MRI as well. Pharmacopuncture rapidly reduced pain and improved range of motion and function of shoulder in patients with acute sub-deltoid bursitis even though it was severe symptom. Our result suggest that autohemo-seperated regeneration pharmacopuncture might be effective in regenerating the tear of soft tissue such as subscapularis tendon.

Lateral malleolar bursitis of the ankle is a commonly encountered disease in the department of orthopedic surgery. Although most cases of lateral malleolar bursitis are managed by conservative treatments, operative treatment is considered in cases of infected bursitis or complication after surgery. There are several potential complications associated with operative treatment, including wound healing problem, skin necrosis, nerve injury, or recurrence. However, synovial fistula of the ankle as a complication after surgery for lateral malleolar bursitis has not been previously reported. The author experienced the complication of synovial fistula after surgery for lateral malleolar bursitis and obtained a satisfactory result in revision surgery for the complication, which was coverage of the fistular formation with a periosteal flap from the distal fibula.

A bursa is an obstructive sac filled with synovial fluid and usually occurs in any area of the body exposed to friction. The bursa of the ankle is not a normal anatomical structure and is caused by repetitive trauma, constant friction, or inflammatory disease of the ankle. Bursitis can occur in any bursa in the human body; however it rarely progresses to septic arthritis. We report a rare case of septic ankle arthritis following intractable lateral malleolar bursitis successfully treated with negative-pressure wound therapy.
