A 72 year-old-male was referred to our institution with recalcitrant prepatellar bursitis. The injury was sustained after striking his right knee against a post whilst horse riding 9 months ago. Previous treatments included repeated aspiration and excision of the bursa with elastic compression bandaging. A diagnosis of a Morel-Lavallée internal degloving injury was made, and the lesion was satisfactorily managed by an internal quilting procedure to eliminate the potential dead space. A review of the literature reveals 29 published reports of Morel-Lavallée lesions with sufficient information for inclusion. These came from 14 separate countries with a total of 204 lesions in 195 patients. The most common anatomical location was the greater trochanter/hip (36%), followed by the thigh (24%) and the pelvis (19%). Most were managed surgically with evacuation of the haematoma and necrotic tissue followed by debridement, which was often repeated (36%). Conservative treatment with percutaneous aspiration and compression bandaging was the next most common treatment (23%). The knee was the fourth most common region affected (16%), and only 3 other lesions in the literature have been managed with a quilting procedure.

“…We acknowledge that the arthroscopic approach is quite uncommon and, once again, there is no controlled-trial data to support this, although multiple, small number case series report few complications for bursectomy at the olecranon and patella. 26,27 The feared complications in open excision are wound dehiscence, chronic sinus and skin necrosis as a result of the watershed midline blood supply. Arthroscopic techniques aim to avoid this with port sites located distant from the midline.…”

“…Bursitis is simply inflammation of this sac. The most common sites are shoulder (subdeltoid, olecranon), hip (ischial tuberosity, trochanteric), knee (prepatellar bursa), and foot (retrocalcaneal) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Table 22.1 represents a comprehensive a general review of the clinical presentation, investigation, and treatment of bursitis.…”

Endoscopic bursectomy for the treatment of septic pre-patellar bursitis: a case series

Abstract: We conclude that endoscopic bursectomy is a safe and effective treatment for septic pre-patellar bursitis with a shortened hospital stay and a quicker return to work than conventional open debridement.
