What’s the difference between anterior knee pain and knee bursitis?

Your knee contains up to 11 bursae, including the suprapatellar, prepatellar, infrapatellar and pes anserinus bursae. Knee bursitis is a generalized term that refers to inflammation of any of these bursae. Anterior knee pain – or pes anserinus bursitis – refers specifically to inflammation of the pes anserinus bursa.
