Overview
Medical therapy for traumatic bursitis includes the RICE regimen (rest, ice, compression, elevation), anti-inflammatory agents such as Aspirin, Naproxen, or Ibuprofen, ultrasound therapy, and/or corticosteroid injections. Restriction of activity is encouraged to prevent further injury and promote healing. Antimicrobial therapy is administered for infectious bursitis.
Medical Therapy
Prepatellar Bursitis
- Septic prepatellar bursitis requires oral antibiotics with or without surgical excision of the bursal sac (bursectomy) depending on the patient's response and the organism involved.
- Staphylococcus aureus bursitis often resolves with antibiotics alone, while Sporotrix schenckii bursitis often requires bursectomy.
- Most patients respond to oral antibiotics alone although some require intravenous therapy.
- Aseptic prepatellar bursitis is usually managed with rest, compression, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Iee is not helpful except in the acute setting.
- Local corticosteroid injections may be used in some patients who do not respond to initial therapy. [1]
Olecranon Bursitis
- The mainstay of therapy for acute traumatic or idiopathic olecranon bursitis is nonsurgical measures including ice, compressive dressings, and avoidance of aggravating activity.
- Most patients improve significantly with these measures.
- Aspiration should be performed among patients who do not respond to rule out possible infection.
- Early aspiration (with or without corticosteroid injection) may be helpful among patients with bothersome fluid collections.
- The mainstay of therapy for septic olecranon bursitis is fluid drainage, rest, and intravenous antibiotics.[1]
Trochanteric Bursitis
- Physical therapy and NSAIDs are the most effective therapies for trochanteric bursitis.
- Local glucocorticoid injections are reserved for patients with refractory symptoms.
- Most patients do not require any surgical intervention.[1]
Retrocalcaneal Bursitis
- Management of retrocalcaneal bursitis involves supportive measures such as ice, limitation of activity, NSAIDs, and orthoses.
- Modification of footwear to avoid posterior heel irritation and use of maneuvers that stretch the Achilles tendon may be helpful.
- Corticosteroid injections are not recommended as they may have adverse effects on the Achilles tendon.[1]
Antimicrobial Regimens
- Septic bursitis [2]
- 1. Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-susceptible (MSSA)
- Preferred regimen (1): Nafcillin 2 g IV q4h
- Preferred regimen (2): Oxacillin 2 g IV q4h
- Preferred regimen (3): Dicloxacillin 500 mg PO qid
- 2. Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant (MRSA)
- Preferred regimen (1): Vancomycin 1 g IV q12h
- Preferred regimen (2): Linezolid 600 mg PO qd
