Body Parts of Bursitis
Here are some body parts in which adolescents are more likely to develop bursitis:
- Elbow. Since the elbow plays a key role in many activities, like throwing a ball or hit her with a racket, elbow bursitis is one of the most common in adolescents.
- Knee. Knee Bursitis can be caused by a fall on the knee or any activity involving kneeling for long.
- Hip. Hip bursitis is often associated with running injuries.
- Shoulder. Shoulder bursitis can be caused by something as simple as a fall in bad posture or something as complicated as an injury to the rotator cuff (a group of tendons that protects the shoulder).
- Ankle. When jumping, running or walking in excess may develop ankle bursitis. This type of bursitis can also develop for the mere fact of taking the wrong type of shoes to practice certain activities
