Knee: The knee has multiple bursa: suprapatellar, prepatellar, infrapatellar, and deep infrapatellar and pes anserine bursa. The first two bursa are on and above your knee cap and the second two are below. You have a suprpatellar tendon that connect quadricep to knee cap and an infrapatellar tendon that connect tibia to knee cap. Often with knee bursitis and tendinits go together.
