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.
The etymology of the name relates to the insertion of the conjoined tendons into the anteromedial proximal tibia. From anterior to posterior, the pes anserinus is made up of the tendons of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles.
Insertion: Anteromedial surface of the proximal tibia in the pes anserinus: Artery: Femoral artery: Nerve: Femoral nerve (sometimes from the intermediate cutaneous nerve of thigh) Actions: Flexion, abduction, and lateral rotation of the hip, flexion of the knee [1] Identifiers; Latin: musculus sartorius: TA98: A04.7.02.015: TA2: 2610: FMA ...
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 ...

An incision is made over the medial knee 4 cm medial to the patella, and extended distally 7 to 8 cm past the joint line, directly over the pes anserinus tendons. [27] Within the distal borders of the incision, the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons are found beneath the sartorius muscle fascia.
It share its distal insertion with the sartorius and semitendinosus, all three muscles forming the pes anserinus. It is the most medial muscle of the adductors, and with the thigh abducted its origin can be clearly seen arching under the skin. With the knee extended, it adducts the thigh and flexes the hip.
