Bursitis
Epidemiologia

Zapalenie kaletki maziowej (bursitis) stanowi około 0,4% wizyt w podstawowej opiece zdrowotnej, co odpowiada 400 przypadkom na 100 000 konsultacji. W USA rocznie dotyka około 3,2% populacji (8,7 mln osób), z częstością 32 przypadków na 1000 osób. Schorzenie występuje równomiernie u obu płci, jednak typy zapalenia kaletki różnią się pod względem płci i wieku: zapalenie kaletki krętarza większego i gęsiej stopki przeważa u kobiet (4:1), natomiast łokciowej i przedrzepkowej częściej u mężczyzn. Septyczne zapalenie kaletki maziowej stanowi około 33% wszystkich przypadków, z przewagą u mężczyzn (85%). Najczęstsze lokalizacje to kaletki podbarkowa, łokciowa, kulszowa, krętarzowa i przedrzepkowa, z częstością występowania np. 1,8/1000 pacjentów rocznie dla bólu krętarzowego oraz 29/100 000 osobolat dla aseptycznego zapalenia kaletki łokciowej. Czynniki ryzyka obejmują m.in. prace fizyczne, sportowców, choroby współistniejące (cukrzyca, choroby reumatologiczne), otyłość oraz zaburzenia biomechaniczne, takie jak koślawość kolan czy napięcie pasma biodrowo-piszczelowego.

Epidemiologia Bursitis

Zapalenie kaletki maziowej (bursitis) stanowi około 0,4% wszystkich wizyt w podstawowej opiece zdrowotnej, co przekłada się na około 400 wizyt na 100 000 konsultacji lekarskich. W Stanach Zjednoczonych schorzenie to dotyka rocznie około 3,2% populacji, czyli około 8,7 miliona osób, z roczną częstością występowania szacowaną na 32 przypadki na 1000 osób.123

Pomimo powszechności tego schorzenia, dokładne dane epidemiologiczne dotyczące ogólnej częstości występowania zapalenia kaletki maziowej nie są w pełni poznane. Wynika to częściowo z faktu, że łagodniejsze przypadki często nie są zgłaszane do lekarza, a zapalenie kaletki maziowej bywa również błędnie diagnozowane jako zapalenie stawów.45

Rozkład płci w bursitis

Ogólnie rzecz biorąc, zapalenie kaletki maziowej dotyka w równym stopniu mężczyzn i kobiety. Istnieją jednak znaczące różnice w występowaniu poszczególnych typów tego schorzenia w zależności od płci:67

  • Zapalenie kaletki maziowej krętarza większego (trochanteric bursitis) i zapalenie kaletki maziowej gęsiej stopki (pes anserine bursitis) występują częściej u kobiet, ze stosunkiem kobiet do mężczyzn wynoszącym około 4:18910
  • Zapalenie kaletki maziowej łokciowej (olecranon bursitis) częściej dotyka mężczyzn, głównie z powodu większego udziału mężczyzn w zawodach wymagających pracy fizycznej (hydraulicy, ogrodnicy, mechanicy, pracownicy budowlani)1112
  • Zapalenie kaletki maziowej przedrzepkowej (prepatellar bursitis) występuje częściej u mężczyzn1314
  • Septyczne zapalenie kaletki maziowej występuje w około 85% przypadków u mężczyzn15

Rozkład wiekowy

Zapalenie kaletki maziowej może wystąpić u osób w każdym wieku, jednak częstość występowania wzrasta w określonych grupach wiekowych:16

  • Najczęściej dotyka osoby w wieku 15-50 lat (szczególnie po osiągnięciu dojrzałości szkieletu)1718
  • Zapalenie kaletki maziowej pourazowe występuje częściej u pacjentów powyżej 35 roku życia19
  • Zapalenie kaletki maziowej krętarza większego najczęściej występuje u osób w wieku 40-60 lat, szczególnie u kobiet202122
  • Zapalenie kaletki maziowej łokciowej najczęściej dotyka mężczyzn w wieku 30-60 lat232425
  • Zapalenie kaletki maziowej podbarkowej częściej występuje u osób starszych z powodu wieloletniego zużycia prowadzącego do zwiększonej kompresji podbarkowej2627
  • Osoby starsze są bardziej narażone na zapalenie kaletki maziowej ze względu na częstsze występowanie w tej grupie chorób współistniejących, takich jak choroba zwyrodnieniowa stawów28

Częstość występowania poszczególnych typów zapalenia kaletki maziowej

Najczęstsze lokalizacje zapalenia kaletki maziowej to okolice kaletki podbarkowej, łokciowej, kulszowej, krętarzowej i przedrzepkowej.29 Poniżej przedstawiono dane dotyczące częstości występowania poszczególnych typów:

Zapalenie kaletki maziowej krętarza większego
  • Częstość występowania bólu krętarzowego w podstawowej opiece zdrowotnej wynosi 1,8 na 1000 pacjentów rocznie303132
  • Częstość występowania jednostronnego zespołu bólowego krętarza większego (GTPS) wynosi 15,0% u kobiet i 8,5% u mężczyzn, a obustronnego GTPS 6,6% u kobiet i 1,9% u mężczyzn33
  • W praktyce medycyny sportowej częstość występowania zapalenia kaletki maziowej krętarza większego oszacowano na 560 przypadków na 100 000 pacjentów34
Zapalenie kaletki maziowej łokciowej
  • Częstość występowania aseptycznego zapalenia kaletki maziowej łokciowej szacuje się na 29 przypadków na 100 000 osobolat35
  • Częstość występowania septycznego zapalenia kaletki maziowej łokciowej szacuje się na 10 przypadków na 100 000 osób rocznie36
  • Niektóre badania wskazują na częstość występowania zapalenia kaletki maziowej łokciowej na poziomie około 1 na 10 000 osób37
  • Dwie trzecie przypadków zapalenia kaletki maziowej łokciowej ma charakter nieinfekcyjny38
Zapalenie kaletki maziowej przedrzepkowej
  • Uważa się, że roczna częstość występowania zapalenia kaletki maziowej przedrzepkowej wynosi 1 na 10 000 osób39
  • Około 30% przypadków zapalenia kaletki maziowej przedrzepkowej ma charakter septyczny40
Septyczne zapalenie kaletki maziowej
  • Septyczne zapalenie kaletki maziowej stanowi około jednej trzeciej wszystkich przypadków zapalenia kaletki maziowej41
  • Częstość występowania septycznego zapalenia kaletki maziowej łokciowej i przedrzepkowej szacuje się na 10 do 100 przypadków na 100 000 przyjęć do szpitala42
Inne typy zapalenia kaletki maziowej
  • Zapalenie kaletki maziowej kulszowej jest rzadko spotykane i rzadko rozpoznawane43
  • Zapalenie kaletki maziowej więzadła pobocznego przyśrodkowego jest niezwykle rzadkie, jeśli występuje samodzielnie44

Czynniki ryzyka i grupy szczególnie narażone

Istnieje kilka grup populacyjnych i czynników, które zwiększają ryzyko rozwoju zapalenia kaletki maziowej:4546

Aktywność fizyczna i zawodowa
  • Sportowcy – częstość występowania zapalenia kaletki maziowej jest wyższa u sportowców, osiągając poziom nawet 10% u biegaczy47
  • Osoby wykonujące prace wymagające powtarzalnych ruchów nad głową (np. zawodnicy rzucający oszczepem, baseballiści, krykieciści)4849
  • Osoby wykonujące zawody wymagające częstego klękania lub narażające na bezpośredni nacisk na kolana (np. hydraulicy, układacze dywanów, ogrodnicy, dekarze)5051
  • Osoby wykonujące zawody narażające na urazy lub nacisk na łokcie (np. ogrodnicy, mechanicy, hydraulicy, dekarze, układacze dywanów, studenci i pracownicy biurowi)52
  • Osoby pracujące w technicznych zawodach wymagających czołgania się w wąskich przestrzeniach i opierania się na łokciach53
Choroby współistniejące
Czynniki anatomiczne
  • Zaburzenia chodu (np. spowodowane nierównością długości kończyn lub zaburzeniami stawu krzyżowo-biodrowego)70
  • Koślawość kolan (valgus knee deformity)71
  • Napięcie pasma biodrowo-piszczelowego7273
  • U kobiet – wyższy kąt Q (kątowy mięśnia czworogłowego uda), powodujący większe napięcie pasma biodrowo-piszczelowego i obciążenie kaletki maziowej podczas powtarzalnych ruchów74

Przypadki szczególne zapalenia kaletki maziowej

Zapalenie kaletki maziowej związane ze szczepieniami

W 2012 roku Instytut Medycyny poinformował, że wstrzyknięcie szczepionki może powodować zapalenie kaletki maziowej naramiennej (deltoid bursitis), rodzaj urazu barku, który może obejmować silny stan zapalny i ból. Badanie przeprowadzone na danych z sezonu grypowego 2016-2017 wykazało, że wśród 2,9 miliona osób, które otrzymały szczepionkę przeciw grypie, zidentyfikowano 16 przypadków zapalenia kaletki maziowej, które rozpoczęły się w ciągu dwóch dni od szczepienia. Oznacza to, że występowały dodatkowe 2,5 przypadku zapalenia kaletki maziowej na milion osób zaszczepionych przeciwko grypie.75

Rokowania i przebieg kliniczny

Śmiertelność u pacjentów z zapaleniem kaletki maziowej jest bardzo niska. Rokowanie jest dobre, przy czym zdecydowana większość pacjentów jest leczona ambulatoryjnie.76

Prospektywne badanie 60 pacjentów z zapaleniem kaletki maziowej krętarza większego wykazało, że gorsze wyniki kliniczne były skorelowane z otyłością, paleniem tytoniu, stresem emocjonalnym, fibromialgią i niedoczynnością tarczycy. Z kolei lepsza ogólna funkcja fizyczna była związana z mniejszą liczbą infiltracji kortykosteroidów, krótszym czasem między wystąpieniem objawów a operacją, niepaleniem tytoniu i brakiem wcześniejszego zespolenia lędźwiowo-krzyżowego.77

W przypadku zapalenia kaletki maziowej łokciowej, wczesne rozpoznanie i dokładna diagnoza z szybkim leczeniem mogą przyspieszyć powrót do zdrowia, ponieważ zapobieganie nawrotom jest najlepszym leczeniem. Po wystąpieniu epizodu nawroty mogą być częstsze i wymagać mniejszego urazu do ich wywołania. Gorsze rokowanie obserwuje się u pacjentów z wieloma chorobami współistniejącymi i opóźnieniem w poszukiwaniu pomocy medycznej.78

Zapalenie kaletki maziowej podbarkowej jest zwykle leczone zachowawczo, poprzez modyfikację aktywności, fizjoterapię, niesteroidowe leki przeciwzapalne i iniekcje kortykosteroidów, a większość pacjentów reaguje na terapię zachowawczą.79

Nieinfekcyjne zapalenie kaletki maziowej łokciowej dobrze reaguje na 1-2 aspiracje stawu.80

Profilaktyka i nadzór

Działania profilaktyczne pierwotne obejmują unikanie czynności, które wywierają bezpośredni nacisk lub siły ścinające na wyrostki kostne (np. wyrostek łokciowy) oraz zapobieganie modyfikowalnym czynnikom ryzyka.81

Ocena ergonomiczna ma kluczowe znaczenie w zapobieganiu nawrotom urazów w zawodach wymagających powtarzalnego ucisku lub obciążenia wyrostków kostnych.82

W przypadku zapalenia kaletki maziowej naramiennej związanego ze szczepieniami, CDC kontynuuje monitorowanie częstości występowania zapalenia kaletki maziowej i innych urazów barku po szczepieniu oraz koncentruje się na odpowiednich programach szkoleniowych i edukacyjnych. Właściwa technika podawania jest ważna dla zapobiegania urazom barku.83

Ze względu na związek zapalenia kaletki maziowej z warunkami pogodowymi, osoby mieszkające w obszarach o zmiennych warunkach pogodowych (od gorących lat do chłodnych zim) mogą być bardziej narażone na zaostrzenie stanu zapalnego, co podkreśla potrzebę czujnego zarządzania bólem dostosowanego do unikalnych wyzwań środowiskowych.84

    Bursitis accounts for 0.4% of all visits to primary care clinics. The most common locations of bursitis involve the subacromial, olecranon, ischial, trochanteric, and prepatellar bursae. […] The incidence of bursitis is higher in athletes, reaching levels as high as 10% in runners. Approximately 85% of cases of septic superficial bursitis occur in men. A French study aimed at assessing the prevalence of knee bursitis in the working population found that most cases occurred in men whose occupations involved heavy workloads and frequent kneeling. […] Mortality in patients with bursitis is very low. The prognosis is good, with the vast majority of patients receiving outpatient follow-up and treatment. […] A prospective study of 60 patients with trochanteric bursitis found that poor clinical outcomes correlated with obesity, smoking, emotional stress, fibromyalgia, and hypothyroidism. In contrast, better overall physical function was associated with the use of fewer corticosteroid infiltrations, a shorter length of time between symptom onset and surgery, being a nonsmoker, and the absence of prior lumbosacral fusion.

    Bursitis is a common diagnosis in physically active people especially between the ages of 15 to 50. It is more common in males than females and can often be misdiagnosed as arthritis. […] The risk factors for bursitis include: Repetitive activities (e.g., running, kneeling), Gait abnormalities (e.g., due to leg-length discrepancy or sacroiliac joint disorders), Osteoarthritis (e.g., in medial compartment of knee for anserine bursitis), Autoimmune musculoskeletal disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, ankylosing spondylitis), Obesity, Metabolic disorders such as diabetes.

    In general, bursitis is encountered equally in the male and female populations. However, some types of bursitis have documented female predilection, specifically pes anserine and trochanteric bursitis. […] Men are more often affected by olecranon bursitis due to the increased rate of men who perform manual labor for a living (plumbers, gardeners, mechanics, and construction workers, among others). […] Since certain occupational stressors increase one’s risk of developing bursitis, many colloquial terms for specific types of bursitis have been coined to reflect these epidemiologic connections. […] While bursitis affects people of all ages, the elderly may be at greater risk, given that many older people are afflicted by osteoarthritis and other chronic diseases, which can increase the risk of bursitis. […] For septic bursitis, immunocompromised patients, such as people with diabetes, those with certain rheumatologic disorders, people who suffer from alcoholism, or those with HIV, are at increased risk.

    https://my.klarity.health/what-is-trochanteric-bursitis/
    Demographically, trochanteric bursitis is predominantly seen in women aged 40-60 years old. […] The epidemiology of trochanteric bursitis, as mentioned in the introduction, is predominant in women compared to men. Middle-aged females (40-60 years old) are more susceptible to this condition, however, younger athletic females are also prone to the development of trochanteric bursitis. The pathophysiology of the higher incidence in women is due to higher Q angles, thus causing tighter iliotibial tracts and strain over the bursa during repetitive motions.

Aseptic (ie, noninfectious) bursitis is more common than septic (infectious) bursitis; septic bursitis accounts for approximately a third of bursitis cases. […] Septic bursitis usually involves the superficial bursae, given the predisposition to trauma associated with these areas. The most common mechanisms of infection are by percutaneous inoculation of organisms into the bursae or via contiguous spread from adjacent cellulitis.

    Olecranon bursitis is relatively common. There is no mortality associated with this condition. Pain in the posterior elbow causes morbidity, with a limitation of activities. It typically affects men between the ages of 30 and 60 years. […] Two-thirds of cases are nonseptic and occur when repeated trauma or sports injuries lead to bleeding into the bursa or release of inflammatory mediators. […] There is no predisposition to sex or race. […] Olecranon bursitis occurs in both children and adults. […] Long-term hemodialysis treatment, uremia or a mechanical factor can be a cause of inflammation. […] Technicians who crawl on their knees in tight spaces and lean on their elbows are very susceptible.

    Tenderness at the outside of the hip may be referred to as greater trochanter pain syndrome. The terms hip bursitis and greater trochanter pain syndrome may be used synonymously. However, a recent study suggests that hip bursitis affects only about 20% of people diagnosed with greater trochanter pain syndrome. […] Other common causes of this syndrome include tightness of the iliotibial band (IT band) and injury to a gluteal tendon. Greater trochanter pain syndrome can have more than one cause.
  • #74 What Is Trochanteric Bursitis? – Klarity Health Library
    https://my.klarity.health/what-is-trochanteric-bursitis/
    Demographically, trochanteric bursitis is predominantly seen in women aged 40-60 years old. […] The epidemiology of trochanteric bursitis, as mentioned in the introduction, is predominant in women compared to men. Middle-aged females (40-60 years old) are more susceptible to this condition, however, younger athletic females are also prone to the development of trochanteric bursitis. The pathophysiology of the higher incidence in women is due to higher Q angles, thus causing tighter iliotibial tracts and strain over the bursa during repetitive motions.

    https://archive.cdc.gov/www_cdc_gov/eis/conference/dpk/Deltoid_Bursitis_Following_Influenza_Vaccine.html
    In 2012, the Institute of Medicine reported that the injection of a vaccine can cause deltoid bursitis, a type of shoulder injury that can include severe inflammation and pain. To date, there has never been an epidemiologic study to determine how often deltoid bursitis occurs after vaccination. […] About 2.9 million people received a flu shot in the 2016-2017 flu season. Of those, we identified 16 cases of bursitis that started within two days of vaccination. This meant that there were an additional 2.5 cases of bursitis for every million people who got a flu vaccine that year. […] CDC will continue to monitor the rates of bursitis and other shoulder injuries following vaccination, and focus training and education programs accordingly. […] To our knowledge, this study is the first attempt to determine the risk of deltoid bursitis following flu vaccination. We confirmed that bursitis is an uncommon adverse event that can occur after getting a flu shot, with an additional 2.5 cases of bursitis occurring for every million people who get vaccinated. Proper administration technique is important for preventing shoulder injuries.

    Bursitis accounts for 0.4% of all visits to primary care clinics. The most common locations of bursitis involve the subacromial, olecranon, ischial, trochanteric, and prepatellar bursae. […] The incidence of bursitis is higher in athletes, reaching levels as high as 10% in runners. Approximately 85% of cases of septic superficial bursitis occur in men. A French study aimed at assessing the prevalence of knee bursitis in the working population found that most cases occurred in men whose occupations involved heavy workloads and frequent kneeling. […] Mortality in patients with bursitis is very low. The prognosis is good, with the vast majority of patients receiving outpatient follow-up and treatment. […] A prospective study of 60 patients with trochanteric bursitis found that poor clinical outcomes correlated with obesity, smoking, emotional stress, fibromyalgia, and hypothyroidism. In contrast, better overall physical function was associated with the use of fewer corticosteroid infiltrations, a shorter length of time between symptom onset and surgery, being a nonsmoker, and the absence of prior lumbosacral fusion.

    The incidence of aseptic olecranon bursitis is estimated to be 29 per 100,000 person-years and septic olecranon bursitis to be 10 per 100,000 persons annually. However, this is a likely underestimate given the benign nature of milder cases that do not seek medical attention. It occurs more frequently in men between the ages of 30-60 years old. […] Primary prevention measures involve avoidance of activities that place direct pressure or shear forces on the olecranon process and prevention of modifiable risk factors. […] Early recognition and accurate diagnosis with prompt management can hasten recovery as prevention of recurrence is the best treatment. Once an episode has occurred, recurrence can become more frequent and require less trauma to trigger. Poorer prognosis is seen in patients with multiple co-morbidities and delay in seeking medical care. […] Ergonomic evaluation is key to help prevent recurrences of injuries in occupations that require repeated compression or weight bearing through the olecranon process.
