BURSAE IN MODULE 8

How many bursae does the knee have?

14

The bursae form at?

Intertissue junctions that encounter high friction during movement

This prevents of limit degeneration

Bursae

What are the 2 types of bursae?

Intrasynovial and Extrasynovial

What are under Intrasynovial?

Suprapatellar bursae

Subpopliteal bursae

Gastrocnemius bursae

between the quadriceps tendon and the anterior femur

Suprapatellar bursae

between the tendon of the popliteus muscle and the lateral femoral condyle

Subpopliteal bursae

between the tendon of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle and the medial femoral condyle

Gastrocnemius bursae

TRUE OR FALSE: Synovial fluid move anteriorly in extension, and posteriorly in flexion, least preassure in neutral

TRUE

TRUE OR FALSE: Synovial fluid move anteriorly in flexion, and posteriorly in extension, least preassure in neutral

FALSE

Synovial fluid move _____ in extension, and ______ in flexion, least preassure in neutral

anteriorly; posteriorly

What are under Extrasynovial bursae?

Prepaatellar bursae

Infrapatellar bursae

Deep infrapatellar bursae

between the skin and the anterior surface of the patella

Prepatellar bursae

Inferior to the patella, between the patellar tendon and the overlying skin

Infrapatellar bursae

between the patellar tendon and the tibial tuberosity

separated from synovial cavity by the infrapatellar fat pad (Hoffa’s fat pad)

Deep infrapatellar bursae

separated from synovial cavity by the infrapatellar fat pad (Hoffa’s fat pad)

Deep infrapatellar bursae

May become inflamed as a result of direct trauma in front of the knee or through activities such as prolonged kneeling

Extrasynovial bursae
