Elbow Bursitis
Elbow bursitis, also known as olecranon bursitis, is a term used to describe the inflammation of a bursa that is found between the skin of the elbow and the olecranon, which is the bony tip of the elbow. A normal bursa is a flat, fluid-filled sac that lies between various tissues and structures such as tendons and bones to cushion them and allow them to glide smoothly over each other. There are many bursae in the body, the major ones found at the large joints. If a bursa is injured or inflamed it swells with extra fluid, creating pressure that can lead to irritation and pain.
