Research Article: Gruberi bursitis in rheumatic patients with foot and ankle pain: a retrospective sonographic study

Date Published: 2025-02-14

Abstract:
Introduction: Foot and ankle pain is a common problem in rheumatic patients. One often underrecognized cause of this complaint is Gruberi (or subtalar) bursitis. The Gruberi bursa is a structure that originates from the sinus tarsi and extends over the dorsal talar surface. It reduces the friction of the extensor digitorum longus tendon over the convex contour of the head of the talus. On ultrasound, Gruberi bursitis is characterized by a well-defined fluid collection in the dorsolateral foot, located between the talus and the tendon of the extensor digitorum longus. Our study aimed to determine the frequency of Gruberi bursitis in patients with various rheumatic diseases who presented with foot and ankle pain at our institution and to describe its sonographic features in detail.
