When infrapatellar bursitis is caused by bacterial infection — septic bursitis — the clinical picture is more severe and the management approach differs substantially from non-infectious forms.
Septic bursitis is a more severe form of infrapatellar bursitis caused by bacterial infection. It presents with additional symptoms such as redness, warmth, fever, and discharge — and requires a more aggressive approach than non-septic bursitis.
Management of septic infrapatellar bursitis may involve a surgical intervention targeting the infected bursa directly.
