The pes anserinus is where the tendons of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus join at the medial knee, [1] into the anteromedial proximal tibia. Pes anserine bursitis may result from stress, overuse, obesity and trauma to this area. An occurrence of pes anserine bursitis commonly is characterized by pain at the medial knee and upper ...
Pes anserinus tendinitis/bursitis syndrome, or pes anserine bursitis, is a cause of chronic knee pain and weakness. [3] [4] It occurs when the medial portion of the knee is inflamed. If the bursa underlying the tendons of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus gets irritated from overuse or injury, a person can develop this ailment. This ...
The anserine bursa (tibial intertendinous bursa) is a sub muscular bursa located deep to the pes anserinus on the anteromedial proximal tibia. Pes anserine bursitis is a common inflammatory condition of the anserine bursa.
the anserine bursa between the medial (tibial) collateral ligament and the pes anserinus – the conjoined tendons of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles. [2] the bursa semimembranosa between the medial collateral ligament and the tendon of the semimembranosus [2]
[2] [9] This distal attachment is the stronger of the two and makes up the floor of the pes anserine bursa. The proximal tibial attachment of the sMCL is the primary stabilizer to valgus force on the knee, whereas the distal tibial attachment is the primary stabilizer of external rotation at 30° of knee flexion.

Crossing on top of the lower part of the MCL is the pes anserinus, the joined tendons of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles; a bursa is interposed between the two. The MCL's deep surface covers the inferior medial genicular vessels and nerve and the anterior portion of the tendon of the semimembranosus muscle, with which it is ...
These include the subacromial, prepatellar, retrocalcaneal, and pes anserinus bursae of the shoulder, knee, heel and shin, etc. (see below [broken anchor]). [1] Symptoms vary from localized warmth and erythema (redness) [1] to joint pain and stiffness, to stinging pain that surrounds the joint around the inflamed bursa. [citation needed]
Prepatellar bursitis is an inflammation of this bursa. Bursae are readily inflamed when irritated, as their walls are very thin. [7]: p. 22 Along with the pes anserine bursa, the prepatellar bursa is one of the most common bursae to cause knee pain when inflamed. [9]
