An Anomaly of the Pes Anserinus: A Case Study Using Cadaveric Dissection

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This case study investigates a pes anserinus anomaly in a male in his seventies who held an occupation in installation, maintenance, or repair. Using whole-body dissection, we found abnormal deposits and synovial tissue in the region of the pes anserinus, possibly suggestive of chronic overuse or injury which would fit with the patient's occupation. This study could aid healthcare providers in understanding and diagnosing variations and in managing lower limb pathologies, particularly in patients with occupational or repetitive stress-related injuries.
