A bursa between the sartorius tendon and the underlying medial tibial periosteum at the pes anserinus insertion, forming the most superior component of the pes anserinus bursal complex alongside the semimembranosus and gracilis bursa.
Sartorius distal bursitis is part of the pes anserinus bursitis complex producing medial knee pain inferior to the joint line in obese, osteoarthritic, or diabetic patients. It is distinguished from MCL sprain by its more distal location and absence of valgus stress pain. Ultrasound identifies the bursa between the tendon and tibia. Weight loss, stretching, and injection are the primary management approaches.
Bursal inflammation at the sartorius tibial insertion contributing to medial proximal leg pain in overweight patients with knee osteoarthritis, managed with injection and hamstring/pes anserinus stretching.
