Meniscal cysts are commonly seen in the knee. Symptomatic meniscal cysts tend to be located on the lateral side but magnetic resonance imaging studies indicate that medial cysts are more common. Meniscal cysts are commonly associated with horizontal meniscal tears. The arthroscopic management of symptomatic cysts should include debriding the horizontal meniscal tear (if nonrepairable) to fully decompress the cyst and the creation of a 5-mm channel from the joint into the cyst. If a vertical peripheral meniscal tear exists or is created, meniscal repair for appropriately selected cases should be performed.

Popliteal cysts (PCs) are occasionally accompanied by knee osteoarthritis (OA) and varus malalignment. However, whether concomitant arthroscopic excision of PCs with medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) improves the osteoarthritic environment remains unclear. Therefore, this study assessed serial changes in C-size, medial meniscus extrusion (MME), and cartilage status for up to 2 years following an MOWHTO.

Objectives: Histological osteochondral characteristics of inflammation, fibrosis, vascularity, cartilage islands, vessels entering cartilage, thickened trabeculae and cysts are associated with bone marrow lesions (BMLs) in human knee osteoarthritis (OA). We identified and developed a method for scoring comparable pathology in two rat OA knee pain models.
Methods: Rats (n = 8-10 per group) were injected with monoiodoacetate (MIA) or saline, or underwent meniscal transection (MNX) or sham surgery.

Lateral knee cysts are relatively common synovial swelling. They are commonly benign swelling due to synovial fluid herniation from the joint. They are usually asymptomatic and in most cases are so small that only magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can confirm the diagnosis.

Introduction And Importance: Meniscal cysts, while infrequent with a prevalence of 1 %-8 %, may result in considerable knee discomfort and functional limitations. The cysts are categorized according to their position in relation through the meniscus, labeled as either intrameniscal or parameniscal. Although parameniscal cysts are often small and asymptomatic, they may expand and become painful with time.

- The study aimed to compare the incidence of post-operative meniscal cysts in patients who had meniscal repair surgery with and without the use of all-inside suture devices, analyzing data from 227 knees.
- Results showed that the group using all-inside devices (Group SA) had a 9% incidence of cysts, while the group that didn’t use these devices (Group NA) had a 7% incidence, with no significant difference between the two.
- The type of suture device did not appear to significantly affect cyst formation or symptoms, indicating that the choice of device may not be a critical factor in meniscal repair outcomes.
