Treatment of Acute Traumatic Laceration of the Olecranon and Prepatellar Bursa

Following a recent publication by the authors \[1\], there is no standardized treatment regime for the treatment of lacerations of the olecranon or prepatellar bursa, although primary bursectomy seems to be the most common treatment regime in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The aim of this study is to prospectively follow patients who suffered from an acute traumatic laceration of the OB or PB treated, according to the local standards, either by bursectomy (Vie, AT) or bursal reconstruction and direct wound closure (Muc, GER). \[1\] Baumbach et al.
