Pesanserinus means • The term, pesanserinus means "goose´s foot" in Latin - owing to the webbed-foot pattern the three tendons make when they meet.
Pes anserine bursitis/ tendonitis • is a painful, inflammatory condition affecting the tendons and/or lubricating sac (bursae) between your shinbone and the hamstring tendons at the inside of your knee; typically caused by stress to the area.
Pes anserine bursitis/ tendonitis • Specifically, the pesanserinus is the area where the tendons of 3 muscles (sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus) come together. • The three tendons merge together in the skin of the bone on the inside surface of the shinbone.
Biomechanics • These three muscles are the dominant knee flexors; they influence the rotation of the tibia and protect the knee against rotary stress.
Symptoms • Pain located 2 to 3 inches below the kneecap • swelling in front of the kneecap (prepatellar) or underneath the kneecap (infrapatellar) • Pain increasing with exercise or climbing stairs • Pain and often warmth and tenderness when touched • Pain when bending or straightening the knee. • Pain that radiates to the back and inside of the thigh
Symptoms • Visible swelling and/or redness of the tendon sheaths (tendonitis)
Cause • It is generally agreed that hamstring tightness is the most common cause
Pes Anserine Causes • Inflammation of the bursae or tendons serving these muscles usually develops due to overuse, trauma, or degradation typically from: • Tight hamstrings • Obesity • Poor sport technique, including improper warm-up, excessive hill work, increased mileage • Biomechanical issues, such as foot rolling, out-turned knees • Osteoarthritis • A medial meniscus tear
Cause • common in athletes (particularly runners), overweight individuals, and often, people with osteoarthritis of the knee.
Causes • Overuse, or excessive stress of the knee joint • Runners may suffer from this if they significantly increase their mileage, change shoes, or have worn out shoes, or change the surface they are running on.
Prevention • gait and your posture • but most importantly, warm up your hamstring
