Wiki Are all 20610 Injections considered "Intra-articular"?

Question: Are all injections that fall under the CPT code 20610 considered "intra-articular," or does that term not apply to ALL injections that can be performed under the 20610 CPT code, such as injections into the bursa? THANKS!

The CPT description says "major joint or bursa"

Yes, the code covers both the joints and bursae. For documentation purposes, are all injections/aspirations that are covered under the code 20610 considered "intra-articular." Is that specific term appropriate for every injection/aspiration covered under 20610? (I realize this question sounds silly.)
