Understanding Deep Infrapatellar Bursitis Under Ultrasound


In the world of musculoskeletal pain, Deep Infrapatellar Bursitis under ultrasound is a diagnostic gem that often goes unnoticed. In this educational video, Dr. Debjyoti Dutta, senior faculty at Asian Pain Academy, presents a live demonstration on identifying and managing this overlooked cause of anterior knee pain using real-time ultrasonography.

This blog is designed to help pain physicians, MSK sonologists, and sports medicine professionals recognize, diagnose, and treat deep infrapatellar bursitis under ultrasound guidance—a must-have skill in daily clinical practice.




What Is Deep Infrapatellar Bursitis?

Deep infrapatellar bursitis is inflammation of the bursa located between the patellar tendon and tibial tuberosity. It is often misdiagnosed as:

  • Patellar tendinopathy

  • Hoffa’s fat pad impingement

  • Osgood-Schlatter disease

Unlike superficial bursal conditions, this deep-seated pathology is best visualized using ultrasound, making deep infrapatellar bursitis under ultrasound an essential technique in pain diagnostics.


How to Diagnose Deep Infrapatellar Bursitis Under Ultrasound

Dr. Debjyoti Dutta's video demonstrates a step-by-step technique to scan and interpret deep infrapatellar bursitis under ultrasound:

H3: Patient Position and Probe Selection

  • Patient Position: Supine, with the knee slightly flexed (~20–30°)

  • Probe: High-frequency linear probe (10–18 MHz)

H3: Sonographic Appearance

  • The deep infrapatellar bursa appears as an anechoic/hypoechoic compressible space between the patellar tendon and tibial bone.

  • Gentle pressure can confirm fluid collection and rule out other causes.



Treatment of Deep Infrapatellar Bursitis Under Ultrasound Guidance

When confirmed, deep infrapatellar bursitis under ultrasound can be effectively treated using:

  • Ultrasound-guided aspiration (diagnostic and therapeutic)

  • USG-guided corticosteroid injection

  • Activity modification and physiotherapy

This targeted, image-guided approach ensures faster relief, fewer complications, and better patient satisfaction.

  • What is the difference between a degree and a fellowship in medical education?
    There is a basic difference between a degree and fellowship, A degree is an academic qualification awarded by a university or institution upon completing a structured program of study, such as a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree. It provides foundational and advanced knowledge in a broad field, forming the primary educational requirement for a profession. In contrast, a fellowship is a specialized training program pursued after obtaining a degree, focusing on advanced skills, research, or clinical expertise in a niche area. Fellowships are usually shorter in duration and are designed for professionals seeking further specialization. For example, FIPP (Fellow of Interventional Pain Practice) and CIPS (Certified Interventional Pain Sonologist) are fellowships that enhance expertise in interventional pain management, complementing a physician's prior medical education and training.
