The hip region in donkey has a relatively largest size and number of synovial bursae. These include: B. subcutanea trochanterica, the subcutaneous bursa of the tuber sacrale, Bb. subcutanae iliacae (coxales) laterale proximalis et distalis, B. subcutanea ischia dica, B. subfascialis trochanterica, B. subcutanea trochanterica tertis, B. trochanterica M. glutei superficialis, B. trochanterica M. glutei medii, B. subtendinea M. obturatorii interni, B. trochanterica M. bicipitis femoris, B. ischiadica M. semitendinosi, the subtendinous bursa of the lateral tendon of origin of M. rectus femoris and the subtendinous bursa of the biceps femoris muscle at the level of third trochanter of the femur.
From the clinical point of view, there is no communication between the bursae and adjacent joint capsule of the hip joint.
