Olecranon Bursitis and Ultrasound-Guided Cortisone Injections
Olecranon bursitis refers to swelling and discomfort at the back of the elbow caused by irritation of the olecranon bursa β the small fluid-filled sac that sits over the bony tip of the elbow. This area can become inflamed due to repeated pressure, leaning on hard surfaces, a direct impact, or ongoing friction. Individuals often notice a soft lump, warmth, or discomfort when resting the elbow on surfaces.
At Joint Injections, we provide ultrasound-guided cortisone injections for individuals experiencing olecranon bursitis. Ultrasound guidance allows clear visualisation of the inflamed bursa, ensuring accurate placement of the injection directly into the affected area.
Cortisone injections may help reduce inflammatory activity within the bursa, supporting improved comfort and allowing easier movement. Ultrasound guidance enhances accuracy and procedural confidence by helping avoid nearby structures.
Choosing Joint Injections means being treated by clinicians experienced in image-guided techniques, offering a focused and minimally invasive approach. Our aim is to help you manage your symptoms effectively and support a return to comfortable daily activity.
