Purpose:To evaluate the effectiveness of arthroscopic direct cystic removal of popliteal cyst using 70 degree arthroscopy and posteromedial portal.
Materials and Methods:From January 2003 to January 2004, 21 patients(23 cases) with popliteal cyst have been treated by direct cystic decompression with arthroscopy. The average age of the 21 patients was 54 years(range 35 to 78 ears).There were 5 males and 6 females. Of the 23 cases, 8 cases were occured n right side and 11 cases were occured in left side. 4 cases were both sides. In ll ases, preoperative MRI were performed to detect combined intraarticular athology. At 6 months and 1 year postoperatively, followup ltrasonography were performed to detect recurrence of cyst. We used Rauschning and Lindgren riteria for clinical evaluation.
Results: All cases had no recurrence and no complaints of pain, swelling, or unctional impairment at 1 year after surgery.At ultrasonography, no recurrence were founded. One complication was occurred. Postoperatively, Rauschning and Lindgren criteria were more than grade 1.
Conclusions:Arthroscopic direct cystic removal using arthroscopy and posteromedial portal is an effective method in popliteal cyst surgery.
