Study Notes

Ischial Bursitis

  • Inflammation of the fluid-filled sac surrounding a tendon, muscle, or ligament.
  • Three primary mechanisms of injury (MOIs):
    • Mechanical: Movement is the cause.
    • Chemical: (Not discussed in this context).
    • Septic: Infectious, often a result of an acute injury.
  • The course primarily focuses on mechanical bursitis.
