Various types of crepitus that may be heard in joint pathologies are: Bone crepitus: This may be heard when two fragments of a fracture are moved against each other. Crepitus of bursitis: This is heard when the fluid in the bursa contains small, loose fibrinous particles. Crepitus of tenosynovitis: This may result from inflammation of the fluid-filled sheath (synovium) that surrounds a tendon.
