0:00

<v ->Another place where this sort of

0:02

paratendinous arrangement is seen is about the elbow.

0:07

And here we deal, in fact, with this bursa,

0:10

known as the bicipitoradial bursa,

0:13

which is intimate with the attachment of the biceps tendon

0:16

to the radial tuberosity.

0:19

There's another bursa in this location,

0:21

the intraosseous bursa,

0:22

but it's located a little bit more distally.

0:26

The exact relationship of this bursa,

0:29

the bicipitoradial bursa,

0:30

and the biceps tendon varies

0:32

according to the position of the forearm

0:36

being on both sides of the tendon in supination,

0:40

and mainly located between the tendon

0:44

and the radial head in pronation.

0:47

To show you an example, a very beautiful example here,

0:51

of involvement of the bicipitoradial bursa,

0:54

this is in pronation,

0:56

and you can see the kind of teardrop appearance

0:59

of this distended bursa with synovial inflammation

1:04

and the enhanced image at the top

1:06

with enhancement of the synovium within the bursa.
