ARTHROSCOPIC EXCISION AND DEBRIDEMENT OF INTRA ARTICULAR GANGLION CYSTS ORIGINATING FROM HOFFA FAD PED IN THE KNEE
Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 22
Abstract
Ganglion cysts can be seen in various parts of the body. Intra-articular ganglion cysts can be seen with localized swelling of the knee or detected during MR imaging coincidentally. Ganglion cysts may originate from the anterior cruciate ligament, the menisci, the popliteus tendon, and the infrapatellar fat tissue, Hoffa. Excision of intra-articular knee ganglion cysts can be performed with open surgical procedure or arthroscopy assisted. Arthroscopically assisted ganglion cystic excision surgery is superior to open surgery in terms of reduced surgical morbidity, lower probability of restraint in the post-op period and patient comfort. The Surgeon should be careful not to leave residual ganglion cyst wall in arthroscopy procedure. Arthroscopic debridement is an easy and low morbidity surgical treatment for intra-knee ganglion cysts.
