A bursa is a small fluid-filled sac that helps reduce friction between two surfaces in the body, such as a bone and a tendon or ligament. The bursa located between the knee cap (patella) and the femur is called the prepatellar bursa or the "housemaid's knee" bursa. It helps cushion and protect the knee joint during movement.
