Background
- Name comes from proximity to the pes anserine (three tendons that insert on the tibia)
- Inflammatory condition of the medial knee
Risk Factors
- Osteoarthritis of knee
- Obese females
- History of athletic activity (overuse)
- e.g. runners
Diagnosis
- Anterior medial knee pain, frequently chronic (insertion of pes anserine)
- Worse with ascending stairs and when arising from a seated position
- Focal swelling occasionally noted over the bursa
- TTP over the bursa
Differential Diagnosis
Knee diagnoses
Acute knee injury

Nontraumatic/Subacute
- Arthritis
- Gout and Pseudogout
- Osgood-Schlatter disease
- Patellofemoral syndrome (Runner's Knee)

Work-UP
- Consider knee x-rays to r/o fx
