We evaluated the morphological framework of the pes anserinus in both knees of ten Nigerian cadavers and we observed high degree of variability in its morphology and location. The pes anserinus inserted specifically on the superior half of the media border of the tibia, as far inferiorly as 124.44 mm to the tibial tuberosity (prolonged insertion). The insertion was also joined to the part of ti...

INTRODUCTION Osteochondroma is a common benign bone tumor, protruding from the underlying normal bone. Osteochondromas can cause pain depending on their location and size. The pes anserinus is located at the proximal medial side of the tibia, where the tendinous insertions of the sartorius, gracilis and semitendinosus muscles collectively attach. Pes anserinus syndrome, or anserine bursitis, is...

Pes anserinus bursitis (www.physio-pedia.com/Bursitis), also known as intertendinous bursa, is an inflammation of the bursa of the conjoined insertion of the M. Sartorius, M. Gracilis and M. Semitendinosus muscles along the proximal medial aspect of the tibia [4]. The bursa is located approximately two inches below the medial knee joint line between the pes anserinus tendons. The bursa doesn’t ...

Osteochondromas are the most common bone tumours. Although these tumors are relatively common in the long bones of children, the varied clinical and radiographic presentation of such neoplasms around the knee joint can cause diagnostic delays, especially when not associated with a palpable swelling. Proximal tibial osteochondromas can sometimes unusually present as spurs/ rose thorns leading to...

we present a case of unilateral tibia vara associated with an area of focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia in the medial aspect of the right proximal tibia. such a case has not been described previously. the affected child was 8 months old. deformity resolved without aggressive treatment. the pathogenesis of the focal lesion remains controversial. the most likely explanation is that the mesenchym...

Forty-eight men and three women were reviewed an average of thirty-one months after pes anserinus transposition for chronic anteromedial rotational instability of the knee. Their ages ranged from eighteen to forty-two years (average twenty-five years). All but four of the injuries occurred during sport. The interval between injury and operation averaged thirty months. During this time twenty-th...

OBJECTIVE Pes anserinus tendino-bursitis is a condition caused by repetitive friction over the bursa or direct trauma to knee joint and it presents with proximal medial tibial pain and swelling. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of kinesiotaping in comparison with naproxen and physical therapy in treatment of pes anserinus tendino-bursitis. METHODS In a randomized comparative ...
