The bursae of the knee are the fluid sacs and synovial pockets that surround and sometimes communicate with the joint cavity. Thin-walled and filled with synovial fluid, they represent the weak point of the joint, but also produce enlargements to the joint space.[1] They can be grouped into either communicating and non-communicating bursae or, as below, after location.

1 |
the suprapatellar bursa (膝蓋骨上滑液包/膝蓋上包) |
between the anterior surface of the lower part of the femur and the deep surface of the quadriceps femoris. [2] It allows for movement of the quadriceps tendon over the distal end of the femur. |
2 |
|
between the patella and the skin, results in "housemaid's knee" when inflamed. [2] It allows movement of the skin over the underlying patella. |
3 |
the deep infrapatellar bursa (深膝蓋下包) |
between the upper part of the tibia and the patellar ligament. [2] It allows for movement of the patellar ligament over the tibia. |
4 |
the subcutaneous [or superficial] infrapatellar bursa(膝蓋前皮下包) |
between the patellar ligament and skin. |
5 |
the pretibial bursa |
between the tibial tuberosity and the skin. [2] It allows for movement of the skin over the tibial tuberosity. |
