Abstract:

Objective The aim of this study was to delineate the consistent anatomical structures in the pesanserinus and to provide an applied anatomic data for location the tendons on pesanserinus in autograft surgery. Methods Sixty-nine lower extremities from fixed cadavers were dissected to expose the pesanserinus. The locations of end point of sartorius, semitendinosus, and gracilis were measured. Results Three types of array pattern of the tendons in pesanserinus were found. The lower bound of tendons in pesanserinus was located (1.765±0.759) cm below the transverse plane of tibial tubercle. And the horizontal range between ending point of semitendinosus, gracilis, sartorius, to tibial crest was (1.550±0.557), (1.376±0.551), and (1.294±0.629) cm, the horizontal range between Saphenous nerve,Infrapatellar branch to tibial crest was (7.071±0.696),(4.033±0.991) cm. Conclusion Knowledge of the microsurgical features  of the tendons in pesanserinus would help to better the approach in autograft surgery, which can improve the quality of in autograft surgery.
