Eleven Cases of Meniscal Cyst on Arthrogram

Abstract

Using a positive single-contrast arthrography under fluoroscopy with magnification, the knee joint of 299 patients, i. e. 313 knees were examined. Seventy-three knees were diagnosed with meniscal injuries in which meniscal cysts in eleven cases were on arthrogram. The frequency of meniscal cysts in meniscal injuries was 15.1% or 11/73. Ten cases were associated with horzontal tears. The importance of the use of arthrography to observe the relationship between meniscal cysts to horizontal tears is discussed.
