The pes anserinus transfer. A long-term follow-up
BL Freeman, JH Beaty and DB Haynes
We evaluated forty-eight patients (fifty knees) with pes anserinus transfer
at an average of nine years after operation. There was a high incidence of
anteromedial and anterolateral rotatory instability. The incidence (54 per
cent) of significant roentgenographic changes at follow-up was also high.
Although many patients were improved symptomatically after pes anserinus
transfer, only nineteen patients (38 per cent) had no limitation of
function.
