Pes-Anserinus-Syndrom

Pes anserine tendinitis, sometimes also referred to as goose foot syndrome, is an inflammatory condition of the medial knee, with gradually worsening pain on the inside of the knee just below the joint. It is often confused with irritation of the medial collateral ligament or even more frequently with pain and soreness of the inner meniscus. The important adductor muscles of the leg insert at the pes anserinus on the inside of the tibial plateau and are primarily responsible for stabilizing the lower leg. The inner rotation of the tibial plateau, and thereby the inner rotation of the entire lower leg are controlled via this site. A variety of options is available for treating pes anserine tendinitis. Correcting any malalignment of the foot should be the top priority. This is because malalignment of the foot can exacerbate pathological loading of the tibial plateau, the area below the knee joint cavity. The use of corrective orthotics, specifically sensorimotor PROPRIO® foot orthoses, can help alleviate pain on the inside of tibial plateau.
