Pes Anserine Bursitis – Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Introduction

Pes Anserine Bursitis is a painful inflammatory condition affecting the Pes Anserine bursa, a fluid-filled sac located between the shinbone (tibia) and three tendons of the inner knee. This condition often affects athletes, individuals with arthritis, and those involved in repetitive knee movements. Proper treatment can relieve pain and restore mobility.

Prevention of Pes Anserine Bursitis

  • Maintain a Healthy Weight
  • Use Proper Exercise Techniques
  • Strengthen & Stretch Muscles
  • Wear Supportive Footwear

Treatment Options for Pes Anserine Bursitis

Non-Surgical Treatment (First-Line Approach)
  • Rest & Activity Modification: Avoid repetitive knee movements to reduce irritation.
  • Ice Therapy (Cold Compress): Apply for 15–20 minutes several times a day to reduce swelling.
  • Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Medications like ibuprofen help relieve pain and inflammation.
Surgical Treatment (Severe or Chronic Cases)
  • Bursa Drainage or Aspiration: Removes excess fluid to relieve pressure.
  • Surgical Bursa Removal (Bursectomy): Rarely needed but performed for persistent cases.
  • Knee Realignment Surgery: If underlying structural issues contribute to bursitis.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
  • Gradual Return to Activity: Avoid sudden increases in knee workload.
  • Strengthening Exercises: Focus on quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip muscles.
  • Stretching Routine: Helps prevent muscle tightness and future bursitis episodes.
Prevention of Pes Anserine Bursitis
