BURSITIS VS TENDONITIS KNEE: WHAT YOU MUST KNOW

UNDERSTANDING KNEE ANATOMY

The knee has bones, ligaments, tendons, and bursae. Knowing its structure helps understand inflammation and pain.

WHAT IS BURSITIS

Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa, small sacs that cushion the knee. Common from kneeling or pressure.

WHAT IS TENDONITIS

Tendonitis occurs when tendons connecting muscles to bones get inflamed. Often caused by overuse or strain.

KEY DIFFERENCES

Bursitis causes localized swelling. Tendonitis causes pain during movement. Location and activity reveal the condition.

LOOK AT THE BLOG

COMMON TYPES OF BURSITIS

Prepatellar, infrapatellar, and anserine bursitis cause swelling in different knee areas. Diagnosis helps proper treatment.

COMMON TYPES OF TENDONITIS

Patellar, quadriceps, and iliotibial tendonitis affect athletes and active people differently. Pain location guides treatment.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Rest, ice, NSAIDs, and physical therapy help most cases. Severe cases may need injections or surgery.

PREVENTION & CARE

Exercise, proper gear, and avoiding repetitive strain prevent bursitis and tendonitis. Keep knees healthy long-term.
