View in English: Bursitis
Bursitis
Inflamación (hinchazón, dolor y calor) de una bursa. Una bursa es un saco plano, lleno de líquido que se encuentra entre un hueso y un tendón o músculo. Forma una almohadilla para ayudar al tendón o al músculo a deslizarse con facilidad sobre el hueso. La bursitis se puede producir por un exceso de uso durante un tiempo largo, un traumatismo, artritis reumatoide, gota o una infección. Afecta generalmente el hombro, la rodilla, el codo, la cadera o el pie.
