Summary

Recurrent elbow pain in bicipital radial bursitis can stem from an antecubital cyst. Surgical excision of the cyst and bursa offers excellent symptom relief for patients with this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Bicipital radial bursitis can cause persistent elbow pain.
  • Recalcitrant symptoms necessitate advanced diagnostic and treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the anatomical basis and effective treatment for recurrent bicipital radial bursitis.
  • To evaluate the role of imaging in diagnosing antecubital cysts associated with this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Review of 12 nonrheumatoid patients with bicipital radial bursitis.
  • Preoperative computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  • Surgical exploration and excision of the affected bursa and cyst.

Main Results:

  • Three patients with recurrent symptoms underwent surgery.
  • CT revealed anterior synovial cysts; MRI demonstrated communication between the bursa and elbow joint.
  • Surgical findings identified a valvular mechanism causing the communication.
  • Excision of the bursa and capsular repair resulted in excellent outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Antecubital cysts communicating with the bicipital radial bursa can cause recurrent symptoms.
  • Surgical intervention, including bursa excision and capsular repair, is effective.
  • Accurate diagnosis via advanced imaging is crucial for successful treatment.
