Summary

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrasonography (USG)-guided Baker's cyst (BC) aspiration in the treatment of BC.

Design: A total of 40 patients presented to our polyclinic with the complaints of swelling at the back of the knee. The 40 patients were randomly divided into two groups: (I) aspiration group (n=20) and (II) control group (n=20). In the aspiration group, BC content was aspirated percutaneously under USG guidance, whereas no aspiration was performed in the control group. Additionally, the participants in both groups were trained on how to perform exercises and were also recommended to practice cold treatment for 15 min both in the morning and evening for 2 weeks. All the patients were followed up with USG at the first and third months, VAS, WOMAC, NHP , Lysholm and Cincinnati. The success of the treatment was demonstrated by the decrease in the width, length and area of the BCs and Lysholm, Cincinnati ,VAS, WOMAC and NHP scores.

Conditions

  • Baker Cyst
  • Knee Disease

Interventions

PROCEDURE

interventional

In the aspirated group, the popliteal fossa areas were sterilized and BC content was aspirated from the popliteal fossa percutaneously under USG guidance with a 21-gauge needle (Figure 1). If the BC was septal, aspiration was performed from several different levels of the cyst so that the cyst content could be completely emptied.
