Olecranon bursitis is a common inflammatory condition affecting the superficial bursa located over the olecranon process of the ulna. It may result from trauma, repetitive friction, infection, or underlying systemic disease. Although often benign, the condition requires careful evaluation to differentiate between septic and aseptic bursitis, as management approaches differ significantly. This article provides a concise review of the etiology, clinical features, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies for olecranon bursitis. Homoeopathy offers a holistic, individualized, and non-invasive approach to the treatment of olecranon bursitis. Rather than focusing only on reducing swelling, homoeopathy aims to correct the internal susceptibility that allows the bursa to become inflamed.
