Here’s how overuse, damage or disease can cause inflammation inside the knees. Know what’s the science behind it and how to recover!
Have you experienced pain inside the knee ever? It could be a case of Pes anserine bursitis.First described in 1937, it is a condition caused by repetitive friction and stress or direct trauma to the pes bursa and surrounding structures, especially in the setting of obesity, arthritis, or anatomic dysmorphism of the knee joint. It may result in acute inflammation and fluid distension of this bursa.
In particular, sports may make one prone to pes-anserine inflammatory conditions, including running or sprinting, basketball, and racquet sports.
The prevalence of pes anserine bursitis is variable (2.5-70%) in patients with knee pain. However, in one large study of over 10,000 persons, pes anserine pain was prevalent in approximately one-third of 1% of these individuals.
