Cruciate ligament knee cysts, particularly posterior ones, are uncommon. Arthroscopic surgery is the preferred treatment, due to minimal trauma, low recurrence and quick recovery. Making it the most common choice for complete cyst removal.
Posterior cruciate ligament cysts located behind the ligament are treated with a double posteromedial approach during arthroscopic surgery. This approach in first developed visual for complete cyst removal;simplifying the procedure with minimal trauma, less recovery and no recurrence. Our surgical approach is particularly suitable for the removal of cysts located on the dorsal side of the posterior cruciate ligament.
The third approach is more advantageous if the set is compartmentalized or close to the tibial end.
