AI Article Synopsis

  • Pes anserinus bursitis can be a hidden cause of knee pain that is often misdiagnosed without a detailed physical exam and patient history.
  • The case report illustrates how relying too much on imaging tests in primary care can delay the correct diagnosis and highlights the importance of physical examinations for musculoskeletal issues.
  • Collaboration between physiotherapists and clinicians in this case showcases the benefits of a team approach in sports medicine, emphasizing the need to consider pes anserinus bursitis when diagnosing knee pain.

Article Abstract

Pes anserinus bursitis is a differential diagnosis for knee pain, that may be misdiagnosed. Without proper physical examination and thorough history taking, the diagnosis of pes anserinus may be delayed. We present a case report of this condition, involving both primary care and the emergency department. This case illustrates one possible presentation of this condition, and also demonstrates the risks of overreliance on imaging modalities in primary care, without also performing a proper physical examination of musculoskeletal presentations. The teamwork between physiotherapists and clinicians, in this case, highlights the value of a multidisciplinary team in sports medicine. This case report lends evidence that pes anserinus bursitis should be considered as a possible diagnosis for knee pain and emphasises the importance of physical examination.

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.

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.
