Prepatellar bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa in the front of the kneecap (patella). It occurs when the bursa becomes irritated and produces too much fluid, which causes it to swell and put pressure on the adjacent parts of the knee.
Prepatellar bursitis (also called housemaid's knee, carpet layer's knee, coal miner's knee or carpenter's knee) is inflammation of the bursa (a fluid-filled sac) that is in front of your kneecap (patella).
ICD-10 code M75. 51 for Bursitis of right shoulder is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
Infectious bursitis is initially treated with antibiotics. Surgical drainage is required if the infection does not respond to antibiotics alone. Draining the bursa may also treat chronic swelling that causes disability, but if the swelling continues, your orthopaedic surgeon may recommend surgical removal of the bursa.
Septic bursitis occurs when a bursa becomes infected and inflamed. Infection is usually a result of bacteria entering the bursa through a cut, scrape, or other trauma to the skin, but the infection can also start in the blood or nearby tissues and spread to the bursa.
The prepatellar bursa is a flat, round, synovial-lined structure; its main function is to separate the patella from the patellar tendon and skin.
Swelling at the font of the knee An inflamed prepatellar bursa fills up with fluid, causing swelling that can be felt and seen through the skin. As it progresses, the knee joint may look double in size. The swollen area may seem “squishy” to the touch.
Anatomy. The prepatella bursa is a small fluid-filled sac which sits under the skin, on the front of the knee above the patella (kneecap). Occasionally it can become inflamed, a swollen and painful prepatellar bursa is bursitis, and known as Housemaid's knee.
If an infection is found to be causing the prepatellar bursitis, the bursa will need to be drained with a needle. You will be placed on antibiotics for several days. If the infection is slow to heal, the bursa may have to be drained surgically.
The popular name, clergyman's knee, indicates that it is due to a position where the patient kneels more erect than the position that causes housemaid's knee. Treatment of this condition involves firm bandaging of the knee and avoidance of kneeling.
Recovery time after prepatellar bursitis is hard to predict. With non-operative treatment, recovery is measured in days to weeks. If surgery is needed, then full recovery may take up to three months.
Nonsurgical Treatment Prepatellar bursitis that is caused by an injury will usually go away on its own. The body will absorb the blood in the bursa over several weeks, and the bursa should return to normal.
Incision and drainage of the prepatellar bursa usually is performed when symptoms of septic bursitis have not improved significantly within 36-48 hours. Surgical removal of the bursa (ie, bursectomy) may be necessary for chronic or recurrent prepatellar bursitis.
Inflamed Bursa Treatment Don't do anything that seems to make your symptoms worse. You can still do low-impact or gentle exercises like a light walk or stationary bike ride. Ice: Put an ice pack on your knee about 3 to 4 times a day.
