Do you know what makes an adventitial bursa different from the native bursae in the body?

🔻Watch my 🔻

❗️An adventitial bursa is not permanent, whereas the native bursae throughout the body are always present even when they are not visible on ultrasound❗️

💡Bursae will only be visible on ultrasound when there is fluid is present within them.

An adventitial bursa is an acquired fluid collection that forms between the bone surface and the overlying soft tissues. It is caused by environmental forces, such as friction and excessive pressure. It is most commonly found superficial to the plantar surface of the metatarsal heads. The feet are more vulnerable to this condition due to repetitive micro traumas.

❓What characteristics are indicative of a fluid collection that is likely to be adventitial bursitis❓

The fluid collection will be:

✅Located in the subcutaneous
fat layer
✅Compressible with pressure
✅Hyperemia may be present
using power doppler

💡For optimal visualization of an adventitial bursa, use a lot of gel and minimal pressure to take the following images:

🟢Power doppler images
🟢Long and short axis images
without and with
compression
🟢Measure in both
planes without compression
🟢Cine clips before, during, and
after compression.
