Laboratory studies:
erythrocyte-sedimentation rate, antinuclear antibodies andrheumatoid factor to be assessed
-analysis of synovial fluid aspiration to exclude infection orrheumatic causes
will look into uric acid crystals will perform differential cell count
Gram-stain and culture of synovial fluid
nonseptice have cell-bursitis in 2000 with the predominancemononuclei
-septic bursitis have 70 cells. 000 with predominancepolimorfonuclearelor
-Gram stain is performed to identify any pathogen.
Imaging studies.
Just plain radiography is useful for identifying bone spurs or otherbone diseases that can trigger inflammation scholarship. Can Ishow epansamentele joints.
Bone scan is a sensitive test for bursitis, but is performed if the diagnosis is unclear to rule out other causes of pain.
Magnetic resonance and computer tomography are usually notnecessary because the clinical hallmark of bursitis. Resonance isuseful to Delin anatomy and is sensitive for identifying joint bursitis.It is helpful to exclude suspected solid tumors and pathologies thatrequire surgery.
Ultrasound imaging is useful when the diagnosis is uncertain stock market and to obtain images of popliteal cysts. These scholarshipsare discovered incidentally when performing Doppler studies forvenous thrombosis. Ultrasound studies distinguished between thesolid and cystic masses and are useful in detecting cyst Baker cinsno excessive joint strain.
The differential diagnosis is made with the following conditions:rheumatoid arthritis, cellulite, gout and pseudogout, Osgooddisease, tendonitis, arthritis, septic, ligementare injuries, fractures,osteoarthritis.
