AI Article Synopsis
- Osteochondromas are the most prevalent bone tumors, often found in children's long bones and can present variably around the knee, leading to potential diagnostic delays.
- Proximal tibial osteochondromas may appear as spurs that cause pes anserinus bursitis and nonspecific knee pain.
- A study describes three cases of children with these tumors, including one with bilateral osteochondromas, all of whom were successfully treated conservatively.
Article Abstract
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 pes anserinus bursitis and vague knee pain. We describe the clinico-radiographic features of such proximal tibial metaphyseal osteochondromas giving rise to pes anserinus bursitis in three children, including bilaterally symmetrical osteochondroma in one of the cases, who were treated conservatively with good outcomes.

Tenderness over the Pes anserinus and Gerdy's tubercle before and after total knee arthroplasty.
J Orthop
April 2025
Graduate School of Health Sciences, Morinomiya University of Medical Siences, Nankokita 1-26-16, Osaka City Suminoe-ku, Osaka, 559-8611, Japan.
Objectives: Several patients experience chronic pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with the source of postoperative pain attributed to intra- and extra-articular factors. This study focused on the proximal tibia with either the Pes anserinus (PA) or around Gerdy's tubercle (GT) as the most common site of extra-articular pain.
Methods: This prospective study included 270 patients (360 knees) with advanced varus osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee scheduled for primary TKA and the patient population comprised 289 women and 71 men with a mean age of 74.

Solitary medial proximal tibial osteochondromas cause pes anserinus syndrome in adolescents.

Sakarya University Faculty of Medicine, Serdivan, Sakarya, Turkey.
Objective: Osteochondromas are common bone tumors with hyaline cartilage-covered heads, arising from cortical and medullary bone. Solitary medial proximal tibial osteochondromas (MPTOs) can cause pes anserinus syndrome via compression. However, the literature lacks comprehensive studies on MPTO-related pes anserinus syndrome and its surgical outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Medial meniscal ramp lesions occur at the junctions of the medial meniscus and are often found in up to 42% of ACL tears, but commonly go undetected due to limitations in MRI and physical examinations.
- Proper arthroscopic evaluation, including modified techniques, is necessary for effective diagnosis and treatment of these lesions to prevent increased knee instability and potential ACL graft failure.
- The video article outlines a systematic approach to identify and assess ramp lesions, demonstrating an innovative mini-open repair technique during ACL reconstruction surgery.
