Bursitis and tendinitis involve inflammation of the bursae, the fluid-filled sacs that act as cushions between tendons and bones, and the tendons, the tough cords of tissue connecting muscles to bones, respectively. This type of inflammation may occur in any part of the body but most often affects the knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle. Bursitis and tendinitis are often caused by vigorous or repeated physical activity—for example, at a job that requires the same motion over and over or in sports, such as long-distance running.

Orthopedic physicians, surgeons, nurses, and physical therapists at ��ɫtv Langone Orthopedic Center specialize in bursa and tendon injuries. Our experts create treatment plans based on your specific symptoms, the extent of your injury, how long symptoms have affected you, and your long-term athletic or personal goals.
