Fluid filled sacs in the knee?
A bursa is a closed, fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. Bursae is plural for bursa. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. When a bursa becomes inflamed, the condition is known as bursitis. Most commonly, bursitis is caused by local soft-tissue trauma or strain injury, and there is no infection (aseptic bursitis). On rare occasions, particularly when the immune system is suppressed, the bursa can become infected with bacteria. This condition is called septic bursitis.

What two bursae of the knee have the highest incidence of irritation in sports?
The two bursae of the knee that have the highest incidence of irritation in sports are the prepatellar bursa and the infrapatellar bursa. The prepatellar bursa, located in front of the kneecap, is often irritated due to repetitive kneeling or direct impact, commonly seen in sports like wrestling and volleyball. The infrapatellar bursa, situated below the kneecap, can become inflamed from activities that involve repetitive jumping or running, leading to conditions like jumper's knee. Both bursae are susceptible to overuse and trauma, making them common sites of injury in athletes.
