Septic olecranon and prepatellarbursitis in hockey players: a report of three cases Septic bursitis (SB) is an important differential diagnosis in athletes presenting with an acute subcutaneous swelling of the elbow or knee. Prompt recognition is essential to minimize recovery time and prevent the spread of infection. Due to the significant overlap in clinical features, it is often difficult to differentiate SB from non-septic bursitis (NSB) without bursal aspirate analysis. SB is commonly not considered unless the bursitis is accompanied by a local skin lesion or fever. This study describes two cases of septic olecranon bursitis and one case of septic prepatellarbursitis in adult hockey players presenting to a sports medicine clinic. None of the cases presented with an observable skin lesion
Tuberculosis of the patella masquerading as prepatellarbursitis Tuberculosis of bone is an uncommon entity in the western world.
