Overview
Bursitis symptoms and signs are relatively non-specific. Even after detailed history and physical examination, imaging studies are often necessary to rule out other musculoskeletal conditions. Bursitis must be differentiated from tendonitis, cellulitis, osteoarthritis, ligamentous injuries, and septic arthritis.[1][2][3]
Differentiating Bursitis from other Diseases
Bursitis must be differentiated from:[1][2][3]
- Tendonitis
- Cellulitis
- Osteoarthritis
- Gout and Pseudogout
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
- Septic arthritis
- Ligamentous injury
- Fracture
Anatomic location
Based on anatomic location, bursitis must be differentiated from:
| Type of Bursitis | Differential diagnosis |
|---|---|
| Subacromial bursitis[2] | |
| Olecranon bursitis[4][5] |
|
| Trochanteric bursitis[6][7] |
|
Prepatellar bursitis[3][8]Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag[9]
