- e.g. runners
Diagnosis
- Anterior medial knee pain, frequently chronic (insertion of pes anserine)
- Worse with ascending stairs and when arising from a seated position
- Focal swelling occasionally noted over the bursa
- TTP over the bursa
Differential Diagnosis
Knee diagnoses
Acute knee injury
- Knee dislocation
- Knee fractures
- Meniscus and ligament knee injuries
- Patella dislocation
- Patellar tendonitis
- Patellar tendon rupture
- Quadriceps tendon rupture
Nontraumatic/Subacute
- Arthritis
- Gout and Pseudogout
- Osgood-Schlatter disease
- Patellofemoral syndrome (Runner's Knee)
- Patellar tendonitis (Jumper's knee)
- Pes anserine bursitis
- Popliteal cyst (Bakers cyst)
- Prepatellar bursitis (nonseptic)
- Septic bursitis
- Septic joint
- DVT
Work-UP
- Consider knee x-rays to r/o fracture
- Frequently NOT indicated. See Ottawa Knee Rules
Management
- RICE
- NSAIDS
- Physical Therapy
- Intrabursal injection with local anesthetics and/or corticosteroids (second line treatment)
- 3-5 mL of 1% lidocaine with or without methylprednisolone into point of maximal tenderness in bursa
- Do not inject actual tendons themselves.
Disposition
- Home
- Admit for IV abx if infected bursa is suspected
- Follow up PMD +/- Physical Therapy
