Frontal
File:Knee effusion, annotated.jpg|thumb|150px|X-ray of the knee of a 12-year-old male, with knee effusionknee effusionIn front, there are five bursae:- the suprapatellar bursa or recess between the anterior surface of the lower part of the femur and the deep surface of the quadriceps femoris.Burgener (2002), p 390 It allows for movement of the quadriceps tendon over the distal end of the femur. In about 85% of individuals, this bursa communicates with the knee joint. A distension of this bursa is therefore generally an indication of knee effusion.WEB,weblink Suprapatellar bursa, Daniel J Bell and Brian Gilcrease-Garcia, Radiopaedia,
- the prepatellar bursa between the patella and the skin It allows movement of the skin over the underlying patella.
- the deep infrapatellar bursa between the upper part of the tibia and the patellar ligament. It allows for movement of the patellar ligament over the tibia.Cipriano (2002), p 358. (A brief description of the "clinically important bursae in the anterior aspect of the knee")
- the subcutaneous (or superficial) infrapatellar bursa between the patellar ligament and skin.
- the pretibial bursa between the tibial tuberosity and the skin. It allows for movement of the skin over the tibial tuberosity.
Lateral
Laterally there are four bursae:- the lateral gastrocnemius (subtendinous) bursa between the lateral head of the gastrocnemius and the joint capsule
- the fibular bursa between the lateral (fibular) collateral ligament and the tendon of the biceps femoris
- the fibulopopliteal bursa between the fibular collateral ligament and the tendon of the popliteus
- and the subpopliteal recess (or bursa) between the tendon of the popliteus and the lateral condyle of the femur
Medial
Medially, there are five bursae:- the medial gastrocnemius (subtendinous) bursa between the medial head of the gastrocnemius and the joint capsule
- the anserine bursa between the medial (tibial) collateral ligament and the pes anserinus â the conjoined tendons of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles.
- the bursa semimembranosa between the medial collateral ligament and the tendon of the semimembranosus
- there is one between the tendon of the semimembranosus and the head of the tibiaGray's Anatomy (1918)
- and occasionally there is a bursa between the tendons of the semimembranosus and semitendinosus
