  Bursitis is a swelling or inflammation of a bursa, which is a synovium-lined, sac-like structure found throughout the body near bony prominences and between bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. […] This activity explains the risk factors, evaluation, and management of bursitis and highlights the importance of the interprofessional team in enhancing care for affected patients.
