A member asked:
Could a shoulder bursa regenerate after a bursectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, it can. The body does tend to form another bursa once it has been removed. It usually does not cause a problem once it is formed again unless injured. Bursas protect ligaments and tendons where they attach to bone or rub over bone to decrease friction.
