Diagnostics and surgical treatment of ruptured Baker's cysts: A prospective study.

Aims: We assessed diagnostic and arthroscopic surgery challenges the ruptured Baker's cysts (RBC) cases may present compared to intact Baker's cyst cases (IBC). The main question to explore was: Is RBC arthroscopic surgery more complex than IBS surgery? The null hypothesis was that RBC cases might present additional, and specific challenges for a surgeon and the arthroscopic procedure may be more complicated.

Methods: The prospective cohort study analyzed 100 operated patients (43 % female; mean age 61 ± 9.

Ultrasound-guided injection using leucocyte-rich platelet-rich plasma for treatment of meniscal injuries in a duathlete: a case report.

There is a paucity of data regarding using platelet-rich plasma therapy for Baker's cyst-associated medial meniscal tear. To date, conservative treatments for this type of condition include aspiration of fluid effusion with steroid injection and physical therapy. When this treatment fails, arthroscopic debridement, meniscectomy, cyst decompression and open cystectomy are available surgical management options.

Late Treatment Failure after Stenting and Percutaneous Aspiration for Adventitial Cystic Disease in the Popliteal Artery: A Follow-up Case Report.

Adventitial cystic disease (ACD), a rare vascular disease characterized by mucus accumulation in the adventitia of blood vessels, typically affects the popliteal artery. We present the case of a 61-year-old female diagnosed with ACD in 2018 who was initially treated with endovascular stenting and percutaneous aspiration of the cyst. The patient, who had been asymptomatic for 5 years, developed a stent fracture and pseudoaneurysm requiring surgical intervention.

The Rare Large Common Peroneal Nerve's Schwannoma-A Case Report and Literature Review.

Schwannoma in the popliteal fossa is still rare, often diagnosed late because it grows slowly and has no symptoms. It is often misdiagnosed with connective tissue tumors or with neurological disorders originating in the spine or disorders of the peroneal nerve. Schwannoma within the common peroneal nerve is still rare in the popliteal fossa, with most tumor sizes around 2 cm in diameter due to their smaller size of nerve but can cause neurologic disturbance, especially when it is large.

Comparative evaluation of knee osteoarthritis: radiography vs. ultrasonography in Nepalese population: a cross-sectional study.

Background And Objectives: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative and long-term debilitating disease with rising prevalence, predominantly involving larger joints including the knee joint. While radiography has traditionally been the primary modality for joint evaluation, there is a growing trend towards using ultrasonography (USG) for musculoskeletal disorders, including joint assessment. This study aimed to find the role of USG in the evaluation of OA of knee joints with comparison to the radiographs.

Complex Interplay: A Gigantic Recurrent Popliteal Cyst Following Total Knee Arthroplasty in a Patient with Refractory Rheumatoid Arthritis Case Report.

Introduction: A popliteal cyst, or Baker's cyst, is often associated with joint diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is rare for these cysts to develop following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but understanding when and why they might can optimize patient care. Presented here is a unique case of a massive, chronically recurring infected popliteal cyst in a patient with RA and prior TKA, shedding light on an unusual complication worth attention in the orthopedic literature.

A case series of post-tuberculous Baker's cyst.

Introduction: The gastrocnemius-semimembranous bursa of the knee, which connects to the posterior region of the joint capsule, becomes distended in a Baker's (popliteal) cyst. In adults, it is nearly always secondary to pathological changes in the knee joint that cause an effusion. Baker cysts are mostly asymptomatic, but they may have presentations ranging from mild swelling, a picture similar to infective arthritis, to massive swelling leading to rupture and causing lower limb ischemia.

Palsy of Both the Tibial Nerve and Common Peroneal Nerve Caused by a Ganglion Cyst in the Popliteal Area.

A ganglion cyst is a benign mass consisting of high-viscosity mucinous fluid. It can originate from the sheath of a tendon, peripheral nerve, or joint capsule. Compressive neuropathy caused by a ganglion cyst is rarely reported, with the majority of documented cases involving peroneal nerve palsy.

Association of complicated Baker's cysts with knee pathologies as compared to simple Baker's cysts.

Baker's cysts (BCs) are known to be associated with intra-articular pathologies. BCs can be classified into 2 types: simple and complicated. Although some studies have focused on BC using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is the gold standard examination, no study has compared knee MRI features in patients with simple and complicated BCs.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing cyst wall preservation against cyst wall resection during arthroscopic popliteal cyst decompression.

Introduction: The optimal arthroscopic management for popliteal cyst decompression remains uncertain, with ongoing debate between preserving the cyst wall or completely removing it. The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes and complications of arthroscopic popliteal cyst decompression with cyst wall preservation and cyst wall resection.

Methods: A systematic review adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines was conducted.

Arthroscopic Resection for Extra-articular Ganglion Cysts of Gastrocnemius Near Vessels.

Extra-articular ganglion cysts arising from the gastrocnemius tendon near popliteal vessels can cause pain and claudication. Open resection of this kind of cyst has been described frequently because the vessels can be well protected with a retractor. However, it's a challenge to remove cysts that are near vessels under arthroscopy, because a retractor cannot be used in arthroscopic surgery.
