Шаблон:Infobox medical condition (new) Infrapatellar bursitis is inflammation of the superficial or deep infrapatellar bursa.[1] Symptoms may include knee pain, swelling, and redness just below the kneecap.[2] It may be complicated by patellar tendonitis.[3]

Risk factors include kneeling or crawling.[4] It may also be brought on by frequent bending of the knees while standing, squatting, running, or jumping.[3][5] Diagnosis is generally based on symptom and physical examination.[3] When the deep bursa is involved, bending the knee generally increases the pain.[2] Other conditions that may appear similar include patellar tendonitis and prepatellar bursitis.[6]

Treatment is generally by rest, alternating between ice and heat, and NSAIDs.[3] Infrapatellar bursitis is relatively rare.[4] It has also been called vicar's knee and clergyman's knee.[3][2]
