Talk:Pes anserinus (leg)

A good mnemonic to remember the muscles which contribute tendons to this conjoint tendon and the innervations of these muscles is SGT FOS (sergent FOS)

S- sartorius G- gracilius T- semitendinosus

F- femoral nerve O- obturator nerve S- sciatic nerve


 * The one we got taught is "Say Grace before Tea" (Sartorius, Gracilius and SemiTendinosus). But youre one is good as it has a good way of remembering the nerve innervation as well. calaka 11:17, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Comon, this article makes absolutely no sense. It's a conjoining and it's a condition and it's an operation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.220.86.254 (talk) 21:45, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

poor illustration
the illustration (which looks very old0 is a posterior view of the knee and does not show the 'pes' at all. what is needed is a medial view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.217.59.229 (talk) 06:03, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Guy ropes
We appear to have two articles on the same topic. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:36, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes and no. From what I can tell guy ropes are the three muscles and pes anserinus is the insertion point/tendons. At this moment I have no stance on a possible merger but will give it some thought. Kind regards JakobSteenberg (talk) 18:43, 30 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Not the same topic. Pes anserinus is only the conjoined tendon of those three muscles, while guy ropes is a name given to the group of those three muscles.  Ya  sh  !   19:04, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The term "guy ropes" is defined very well in at least two publications: BD Chaurasia and Vishram Singh. Both the books are accepted as medical textbooks in India and there is at least one whole page dedicated to the topic with diagrams in both publications. They are published by CBS Publishers and Elsevier respectively, which are considered as major academic publishers. Per the sub-section about medical books to be used, major academic publishers "publish specialized medical book series with good editorial oversight; volumes in these series summarize the latest research in narrow areas, usually in a more extensive format than journal reviews". Hence, it is a term that is at least being used in some regions of the world if not all.  Ya  sh  !   12:41, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
