We report the case of a 36-year-old man with a recent diagnosis of gout, who presents with a fullness behind his right knee that fluctuates in size with time. An ultrasound revealed a Baker cyst that contained both large and punctate internal hyperechoic foci. Cyst aspiration revealed negatively birefringent crystals, which were consistent with gout.

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.

Background: Malaria remains a substantial public health burden among young children in sub-Saharan Africa and a highly efficacious vaccine eliciting a durable immune response would be a useful tool for controlling malaria. R21 is a malaria vaccine comprising nanoparticles, formed from a circumsporozoite protein and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) fusion protein, without any unfused HBsAg, and is administered with the saponin-based Matrix-M adjuvant. This study aimed to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the malaria vaccine candidate, R21, administered with or without adjuvant Matrix-M in adults naïve to malaria infection and in healthy adults from malaria endemic areas.

The popliteal cyst is a common condition that causes disturbing symptoms. Several arthroscopic techniques are combined to treat the enlargement of communication and decompose the cyst wall, aiming to reduce recurrence. We propose a technique that involves resecting the posteromedial valve mechanism and excising the cyst wall through a 2-posteromedial portal approach.

Baker cyst is an abnormal enlargement of the gastrocnemius-semimembranous bursa behind the knee joint due to an exit of joint fluid. We herein report a rare case of giant Baker cyst in a rheumatic arthritic female patient. An MRI scan showed a complex, multiloculated cyst measuring 11.

Introduction: The posteromedial compartment of the knee houses several important anatomical structures, including the oblique popliteal ligament (OPL), an accessory insertion tendon of the semimembranosus muscle. Popliteal cysts develop from the synovial bursa located between the medial gastrocnemius and the semimembranosus, typically secondary to intra-articular pathologies causing effusion. This study aimed to describe the normal anatomy of the postero-medial capsule of the knee and its anatomical variations, particularly in the presence of popliteal cysts.
