Abstract

Intrabursal pressures were studied with a water manometer in 7 men with olecranon bursitis and in 1 with prepatellar bursitis. Baseline pressures in the olecranon bursa occurred from maximal extension to approximately 60.degree. of elbow flexion. Further degrees of flexion led to an exponential rise in pressure. In the prepatellar bursa a linear pressure rise occurred throughout the range of knee flexion.
