Complications following resection of the olecranon bursa.

چکیده
We retrospectively reviewed 37 cases of resection of the olecranon bursa and noted wound healing problems in 10 (27%) and recurrence in 8 (22%). A lateral arm flap was necessary in one patient. Conservative treatment remains the treatment of choice for olecranon bursitis. Differentiation between septic and non-septic cases is challenging. The risk of wound healing problems and recurrence should be taken into account when planning surgical resection.

Our experience suggests that M. asiaticum is a potential cause of infection o...

Guidelines recommend a combination of surgical resection and antimicrobials for treatment.

متن کاملInfection of the olecranon bursa by Anthopsis deltoidea.
Anthopsis deltoidea was found to be the cause of an olecranon bursitis in a 79-year-old golfer. Serial histological sections of the olecranon bursa showed faintly stained, brown-walled, septate, hyphal elements in the centers of the necrotic debris. The combination of bursectomy and flucytosine treatment cured the infection.
