Surgery
Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of bursitis. However, bursectomy may be usually reserved for patients with chronic, recurrent, or septic bursitis.[1]
- Indications for surgical intervention in patients with septic bursitis include:
- Inability to drain the infected bursa effectively with needle aspiration
- Presence of a foreign body in superficial bursa
- Adjacent skin or soft tissue infection requiring debridement
- Critically ill patients who are immunocompromised
- Chronically infected and thickened bursa
Trochanteric bursitis
Longitudinal iliotibial band (ITB) release alone and in combination with bursectomy, is a minimally invasive technique that may be result in a better outcome in refractory cases.[2]
