Infrapatellar bursitis is inflammation of the superficial or deep infrapatellar bursa. [3] Symptoms may include knee pain, swelling, and redness just below the kneecap. [2] It may be complicated by patellar tendonitis. [1] Risk factors include kneeling or crawling. [4]
the deep infrapatellar bursa between the upper part of the tibia and the patellar ligament. [2] It allows for movement of the patellar ligament over the tibia. [4] the subcutaneous (or superficial) infrapatellar bursa between the patellar ligament and skin. [2] the pretibial bursa between the tibial tuberosity and the skin. [2]

The suprapatellar bursa is prevented from being pinched during extension by the articularis genus muscle. [4] On the tibia, the anterior reflection and attachment of the synovial membrane is located near the cartilage. [2] Anteriorly, the infrapatellar fat pad is inserted below the patella and between the two membranes.
Tenderness in the tibial tuberosity can arise from Osgood-Schlatter disease or deep infrapatellar bursitis.A bony prominence on the tibial tuberosity can be the result of ongoing Osgood-Schlatter’s irritation in an adolescent with open growth plates, or what remains of Osgood-Schlatter’s in adults.
Bursitis is the inflammation of one or more bursae (synovial sacs) of synovial fluid in the body. They are lined with a synovial membrane that secretes a lubricating synovial fluid. [ 1 ] There are more than 150 bursae in the human body. [ 1 ]
Other conditions that can appear similar include infrapatellar bursitis, chondromalacia patella and patellofemoral syndrome. [1] [2] Treatment often involves resting the knee and physical therapy. [2] Evidence for treatments, including rest, however is poor. [4] [5] Recovery can take months and persist over years.
The diagnosis of patellofemoral pain syndrome is made by ruling out patellar tendinitis, prepatellar bursitis, plica syndrome, Sinding-Larsen and Johansson syndrome, and Osgood–Schlatter disease. [23] Currently, there is not a gold standard assessment to diagnose PFPS. [20]
