Pes anserinus (leg)

Common card · No. 474246

Pes anserinus ("goose foot") refers to the conjoined tendons of three muscles of the thigh. Pes means 'foot' in Latin. In Latin, anser means 'goose', and anserinus means 'goose-like'. Pes anserinus inserts onto the anteromedial (front and inside) surface of the proximal tibia. The muscles are the sartorius, gracilis and semitendinosus. The name "goose foot" arises from the three-pronged manner in which the conjoined tendon inserts onto the tibia.
