Ganglion Cyst and Mucoid Degeneration

Ganglion cyst is a harmless jelly-like fluid swelling. It can be present in the knee joint, commonly around the ACL. The ACL substance sometimes swells up due to degeneration, and it is called mucoid degeneration & the same can be seen even in the meniscus. It’s commonly reported through radiological findings in MRI. It rarely can be troublesome in restricting knee bending or straightening; sometimes, there can be pain while standing or during sleep.

If troublesome, following techniques may be employed:

Arthroscopic debridement of ACL.
Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction.
Arthroscopic bony notchplasty.

The above treatment methods will be appropriate for an individual depending on multiple factors that the Knee Specialist would then evaluate at Ortho-One.
