Abstract: | Benign ganglion (synovial) cysts within the knee are uncommon and especially so when located in the infrapatellar fad pad.
They cause many non-specific symptoms but usually present as a swelling. We report the case of a young gentleman with multiple
benign synovial cysts within the fat pad causing a locked knee, which was treated with arthroscopically assisted open excision.
We can find no previous reports of isolated multiple fat pad cysts causing acute locking of the knee. |
