Risk Factors for Pes Anserinus Tendinitis/Bursitis Syndrome

Abstract

Valgus knee deformity, alone or in association with collateral instability, seems to be a risk factor for PATB. No association was found between PATB and some conditions previously reported as predisposing factors such as diabetes, knee osteoarthritis, and obesity. PATB should be kept in mind as a highly probable diagnosis in mature women with medial knee pain and valgus knee deformity.
