Medical Definition of Calcific bursitis
1. A bursa is a thin fluid-filled sac that reduces friction forces between tissues of the body. Chronic (repeated of long-standing) inflammation of the bursa (bursitis) can lead to calcification of the bursa. This is referred to as calcific bursitis. The calcium deposition (calcification) can occur as long as the inflammation is present. (12 Dec 1998)
