Bursae are fluid fill sacs located near the tendons in major joints. Bursitis is a relatively common cause of joint pain associated with movement. When bursitis is chronic, calcium deposit can be noted within the bursa, hence termed calcific bursitis. Shown in picture above is an example of iliopsoas bursa which has calcified.
Shown in images of the knee above, the calcified suprapatellar bursa. Patient with calcific bursitis who presents with recurrence pain maybe candidate for surgical removal of the bursae.
