AB Bursitis  is  an  inflammatory  reaction  in  a  fluid-filled  synovial  sac,  commonly  over  the  subacromial,  prepatellar,  olecranon,  or  trochanteric  bursa.  It  is  associated  with  repetitive  motion,  trauma,  or  infection.  The  fluid  collection  may  be  bacterial  (septic  bursitis),  gouty,  or,  most  commonly,  inflammatory.  It  produces  pain,  tenderness,  swelling,  warmth,  and  limited  range  of  motion.  It  is  critical  to  differentiate  septic  from  benign  inflammation.
