where does a baker's cyst come from?
english physician and surgeon
baker's cysts usually require no treatment unless they are symptomatic. it is very rare that the symptoms are actually coming from the cyst. in most cases, there is another disorder in the knee (arthritis, meniscal (cartilage) tear, etc.) that is causing the problem. initial treatment should be directed at correcting the source of the increased fluid production. often rest and leg elevation are all that is needed. if necessary, the cyst can be aspirated to reduce its size, then injected with a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation. surgical excision is reserved for cysts that cause a great amount of discomfort to the patient. a ruptured cyst is treated with rest, leg elevation, and injection of a corticosteroid into the knee.
