Daily Question
|
What is the location of the anserine bursa, which can become inflamed and cause pain?
|
|
Answer
|
|
At the inferior margin of the medial collateral ligament of the knee, just superior to the pes anserinus tendon, is the anserine bursa. Repetitive friction or a direct blow to this area can cause inflammation and sharply localized pain over the area. It presents similarly to medial collateral ligament tears, but without the associated joint laxity.
