Deep Bursae

Last revised by Craig Hacking on 2 Aug 2021

Deep bursae are those bursae that are located deep to the fibrous fascia and are normally located between muscles or muscle and bone.  These bursae form in utero alongside synovial joint formation 1.

In contrast, superfical bursae are located superficial to the fibrous fascia.
