Frequency of Baker’s Cysts in Cases of Meniscal Injury
نویسنده
چکیده
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to investigate 394 subjects. Images were obtained in the three spatial orthogonal planes and evaluated by two expert radiologists. The state of meniscal and cruciate ligaments was recorded and statistical analysis was carried out by bivariate analysis. Out of twenty four of 394 subjects, 24 had Baker’s cysts (6.2%). Meniscal lesions were observed in 200 subjects (52%), while 111 subjects (29%) had a cruciate ligament lesion. Baker’s cyst was found to have a statistically significant direct relationship with the presence and type of meniscal lesion (P-value = 0.01) but not with cruciate ligaments. The prevalence of Baker’s cysts in the knees was in the acceptable range. The presence of Baker’s cysts strongly correlated with the degree of meniscal injury.

We report 2 cases of meniscal ganglion not associated with meniscal injury. The incidence of meniscal ganglion is reported to range from 1.4% to 3% among patients who have some injuries of the knee joint and underwent diagnostic tests or treatments including arthroscopy. Cases of meniscal ganglion not associated with meniscal injury as reported here are extremely rare. Treatment by partial meni...
متن کاملA Cystic Mass in the Popliteal Fossa and Its Differential Diagnosis
Im ag es A cystic mass arising in the popliteal fossa can be either a meniscal cyst, a synovial cyst (Baker’s cyst), or a ganglionic cyst [1]. Soft-tissue popliteal masses can be evaluated using physical examinations and imaging studies, such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Thereafter, pathologic studies can be used for making a final confirmation of the diagnos...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcome, we performed a retro-spective review of 35 lateral meniscal cysts that were treated arthroscopically at our institution which was a retrospective study. From a series of 1000 knee arthroscopies, 41 patients who had lateral meniscal cysts were selected. 2 of the 35 patients were lost to follow-up and 4 patients had associated other path...
متن کاملCysts of the medial meniscus. Arthroscopic diagnosis and management.
We report the clinical and arthroscopic findings in 20 cases of medial meniscal cyst with a mean follow-up of 20 months. These were studied prospectively from a series of 7435 knee arthroscopies in which there were 1246 stable non-arthritic knees with medial meniscal tears. The diagnosis on referral was incorrect in seven, and incomplete in seven. There was coexistent meniscal injury in 17 (85%...

Background: Unlike quantified MRI, no correlation has been stated between radiologic findings and the clinical signs in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This study evaluates the relationship between quantified clinical signs including pain, restriction of movement, stiffness and structural changes with MRI and plain radiography findings. Methods: Eighty patients with knee osteoarthr...
