Purpose:We evaluated the effectiveness of arthroscopic shaving cystectomy by using posteromedial portal fo popliteal cyst with the correction of valvular mechanism.
Materials and Methods:We had treated 15 cases of popliteal cyst with arthroscopic shaving cystectomy by using posteromedial portal from April 2004 to June 2005. The mean duration of follow up was 15 months (range: 12~28). Functional results were based on the Rauschning and Lindgren criteria. We estimated operative time, time for regaining pain-free full range of motion and checked sonography for recurrence of the cyst at 12 months after the surgery.
Results:The functional results by Rauschning and Lindgren criteria were rated Grade 0 or Grade 1 in all cases at last follow up. The average operation time was 45 minutes (range: 35~70). All cases regained pain-free full range of motion within five days after surgery and range of motion was also normal at last follow up. There were no recurrence and no walking disturbance in all cases.
Conclusions:Arthroscopic shaving cystectomy by using posteromedial portal is one of the effective alternative method of the treatment for popliteal cyst and it is also useful to correct the valvular mechanism.
