pericruciate Meniscal Cysts arising from tears of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus mr imaging features that simulate posterior cruciate ganglion Cysts
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1999Co-Authors: Nittaya Lektrakul, Mark E. Schweitzer, Abdalla Skaf, Leeren Yeh, B Roger, Roberto Blasbalg, D ResnickAbstract:OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to describe MR imaging features of an unusual type of Meniscal Cyst arising from tears of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus in 10 patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Retrospective review of MR examinations of the knee was performed of 10 patients (nine men, one woman; mean age, 39 years) in whom evidence of a Meniscal tear and a Cystlike structure around the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) was seen. RESULTS. An oval mass with low signal intensity on Tl-weighted MR images and increased signal intensity on T2-weighted MR images posterior to the PCL, simulating a PCL ganglion Cyst, was seen in all 10 patients. A tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus was also seen in all patients. The sites of communication between the Cyst and Meniscal tear were observed in sagittal MR images in eight patients. Septation within the Cyst and associated joint effusion were seen in eight and four patients, respectively. Arthroscopy in eight patients and transMeniscal needle drainage in the other two patients confirmed both the Meniscal

Meniscal Cyst formation after all inside Meniscal repair
American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1999Co-Authors: Stephen J Lombardo, Vance EberlyAbstract:The progression in the treatment of Meniscal injury represents yet another example in the orthopaedic technological revolution. Damaged menisci that were once treated with total excision are now repaired arthroscopically. Arthroscopic repair has evolved in recent years from inside-out and outside-in techniques to the all-inside Meniscal repair. When introduced, the all-inside repair was technically difficult and primarily recommended for posterior tears. 5,6 The advent of certain Meniscal-repair systems has made the all-inside method more technically feasible and has broadened its application. A major advantage of these systems is the potential avoidance of complications associated with outside-in or inside-out methods. 2, 7 While saphenous neuropathy is cited as the most common complication, numerous other complications have been reported.6,9 Only one documented case of postrepair Meniscal Cyst exists. 6 The complications cited have been associated with outside-in or inside-out methods of Meniscal repair, not the all-inside method. In this report, we present a case that documents a Meniscal Cyst forming after an all-inside repair using the Acufex T-Fix Meniscal repair system (Smith & Nephew Endoscopy Division, Andover, Massachusetts).

the modified outside in suture vertical repair of the anterior horn of the meniscus after decompression of a large Meniscal Cyst
Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy, 2006Co-Authors: Jin Hwan Ahn, Joon Ho Wang, Jae Chul Yoo, Sung Kon Kim, Jung Ho Park, Jong Woong ParkAbstract:This article describes a modified suture technique designed for the vertical repair of the anterior horn of the meniscus after arthroscopic decompression of a large Meniscal Cyst. This procedure comprises of three steps: first, the meniscus was pierced vertically using a suture hook and a No. 0 PDS suture. Second, both ends of the No. 0 PDS on the femoral and tibial surfaces of the meniscus were pulled to the outside of the joint capsule using a spinal needle preloaded with suture material. Finally, a skin incision was made adjacent to the suture materials, and both ends were tied. We recommend this technique not only for the vertical repair of the anterior horn of the meniscus after decompression of large Meniscal Cyst, but also to repair a longitudinal tear of the meniscus.
