Dutch term

gezamenlijke eindpees

Dutch to English Medical Medical (general)
Hi colleagues,

I'm a bit stuck with the following: "gezamenlijke eindpees" in the last sentence below.
Here is the context:
De pes anserinus wordt gevormd door de pezen van drie afzonderlijke spieren: de gracilis, sartorius en semitendinosus. Deze pezen hebben de aanhechting op het scheenbeen. De functie van deze drie spieren is voornamelijk het buigen en draaien van de knie. Daarnaast geven ze steun ter voorkoming van valgus stress. Valgus stress is het naar binnen zakken van de knie. Daarom wordt het ook wel een X-knie genoemd. Tussen deze gezamenlijke eindpees en het scheenbeen ligt een slijmbeurs.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Barend van Zadelhoff Dec 8, 2021:
I agree with 'conjoined tendons'

'deze gezamenlijke eindpees' refers back to the pes anserinus.

English uses concord of number, Dutch often does not.

Between these conjoined tendons (de pezen van drie afzonderlijke spieren: de gracilis, sartorius en semitendinosus) and ...


Also: Pes anserinus ("goose foot") refers to the conjoined tendons of three muscles of the thigh.

maybe something like Tussen deze gezamenlijke eindpees en het scheenbeen ligt een slijmbeurs. =

Between this conjoined terminal tendon and the tibia lies a bursa.

common tendon (expansion) I think "end" is usually left out ("common tendon expansion" may be an option if you want to keep "end" in the translation).

The pes anserinus is a common tendon comprising the tendinous insertions of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles.
Michael Beijer Dec 8, 2021:
"conjoined terminal tendon"? "Fig. 62.4 (a) Dorsal and lateral views of the extensor apparatus of the finger. The central long extensor trifurcates into the midline central slip and lateral contributions to the lateral bands. (b) Insertions of the extensor mechanism: Winslow’s diamond encircles the proximal interphalangeal joint, central slip, and lateral bands into a conjoined terminal tendon. (c) Winslow’s diamond. (d) Even if central slip is disrupted, or if there is intrinsic palsy from ulnar nerve injury, blocking of the MCP joint will allow interphalangeal extension through the extrinsic–intrinsic interconnections of the lateral slips."

Michael Beijer Dec 8, 2021:
seems relevant: "Pes anserinus (rare plural: pedes anserini) is the anatomic name given to the conjoined tendons at the medial aspect of the knee that inserts onto the anteromedial aspect of the tibia."

Also:

Pes anserinus ("goose foot") refers to the conjoined tendons of three muscles of the thigh. It inserts onto the anteromedial (front and inside) surface of the proximal tibia. The muscles are the sartorius, gracilis and semitendinosus sometimes referred to as the guy ropes. The name "goose foot" arises from the three-pronged manner in which the conjoined tendon inserts onto the tibia.

This seems to be the text of your assignment.
It is accompanied by a schematic image.
As you can see, the tendons conjoin terminally, which is the reason for 'eind' in 'eindpees'.

You could perhaps use 'terminally conjoined' but it's kind of obvious and I would use 'these conjoined tendons'.
