Rice bodies are materials with an amorphous nucleus and a fibrin layer found floating in the synovial space and bursa. These bodies have often been detected in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculous arthritis, and bursitis. Although the etiology and pathogenesis of rice bodies are not yet fully understood, it has been hypothesized that they might be caused by chronic inflammation origi...

Knee effusion is an abnormal accumulation of the fluid in the knee capsule or the adjoining supra-patellar bursa secondary to the irritation/inflammation in the joint synovium. It is seen in approximately 8-10 % of the total patients suffering from osteo-arthrosis. Kroṣṭukaśīrṣaas described in Ayurveda, can be corelated with knee effusion. In Present clinical trial an effort has been made to ev...

BACKGROUND Knee bursitis (KB) is a common disorder in specific occupations requiring frequent and/or sustained kneeling postures. AIMS To assess the prevalence of KB in the general working population. METHODS Between 2002 and 2005, a total of 3710 workers of a French region were randomly included in the study. A standardized physical examination of the knee was performed when knee pain was ...

Synovial chondromatosis (SC) or joint chondroma is a rare benign cause of ankle swelling, There is a presence of multiple cartilaginous nodules or loose bodies in the synovium of the joints, tendon sheaths, ganglion, periarticular area and bursa. Most commonly it involves large joints, such as the knee, elbow, hip and shoulder. However, it is quite unusual and rare in the ankle joint .The diagn...

The popliteal ganglion, also known as Baker's cyst, is an abnormal, fluid-filled distension of the gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursa. These cysts rarely manifest alone and are often associated with intra-articular pathology inflammatory conditions, such osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, rheumatoid arthritis. A 60-year-old woman came to surgery clinic Dr. Sayidiman Magetan hospital complaints lu...

BACKGROUND The orthopaedic literature contains relatively little quantitative information regarding the anatomy of the posterior aspect of the knee. The purpose of the present study was to provide a detailed description of, and to propose a standard nomenclature for, the anatomy of the posterior aspect of the knee. METHODS Detailed dissection of twenty nonpaired, fresh-frozen knees was perfor...

INTRODUCTION Lipoma arborescens (LA) is an uncommon condition that consists of a villous lipomatous proliferation of the synovial membrane. Open synovectomy has been previously selected as a curative treatment option. In recent years, some authors have published good results with arthroscopic interventions. We describe a well-documented case of bilateral LA of the knees treated with staged arth...

In rodent species, the ovary and the end of oviduct are encapsulated by a thin membrane called ovarian bursa. The biological functions of ovarian bursa remain unexplored despite its structural arrangement in facilitating oocytes transport into oviduct. In the present study, we observed a rapid fluid accumulation and reabsorption within the ovarian bursa after ovarian stimulation (PMSG-primed hC...

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare, benign, but potentially locally aggressive and recurrent condition characterized by synovial proliferation and hemosiderin deposition inside the joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae. It usually affects the large joints such as hip, knee, and ankle. We report a case of PVNS of the knee joint in a young female which was treated by subtotal synovect...

The iliopsoas bursa is the largest bursa in the region of hip joint. It is unusual that these bursa become symptomatic. However the bursa can compress femoral vein, leading to lower extremity edema. A 58-year-old man was referred to our department for his unilateral leg edema which had been treated as deep vein thrombosis without any favorable response. Magnetic resonance angiography was perfor...
