Fluid trapped inside the GSB through an alleged unidirectional valve\u2010like mechanism forms a so\u2010called Baker's cyst. Since a significant association of Baker's cysts with knee joint disorders has been reported, treatment should primarily address articular lesions causing recurrent effusions. Arthroscopic surgery provides an effective treatment in that both the cyst and associated joint disorders can be optimally visualized and accordingly treated. In the present paper an all\u2010inside arthroscopic technique for suturing the gateway to the GSB through an anterolateral viewing portal and a posteromedial working portal is proposed. The rationale underlying this technique is that no conclusive evidences exist that the one\u2010way valve\u2010like mechanism is purely anatomical. A retrospective study was conducted on 22 patients (9\u00a0males and 13 females, mean age 56 \u00b1 10 SD years) affected by a symptomatic Baker's cyst associated to knee joint disorders. Pre\u2010 and post\u2010operative evaluation at 2 year follow\u2010up consisted of clinical assessment by Rauschning and Lindgren criteria and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The results showed that 96% of patients showed clinical improvement. Baker's cyst disappeared in 64% of patients, reduced in 27% and persisted in 9% on MRI. All patients with cyst reduction exhibited clinical amelioration. Our results suggest the all\u2010inside arthroscopic suture technique would improve Baker's cyst\u2010related symptoms by either disappearance or reduction of the cyst. We believe the availability of multiple arthroscopic techniques to treat symptomatic Baker's cysts could broaden the therapeutic armamentarium of knee arthroscopists.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-007-0383-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,7,31]],"date-time":"2007-07-31T17:16:16Z","timestamp":1185902176000},"page":"1452-1460","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Arthroscopic all\u2010inside suture of symptomatic Baker's cysts: a technical option for surgical treatment in adults"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Vittorio","family":"Calvisi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cattedra di Malattie dell'Apparato Locomotore Dipartimento di Scienze Chirurgiche Facolt\u00e0 di Medicina e Chirurgia Universit\u00e0 degli Studi dell'Aquila Piazzale Salvatore Tommasi 1 67010 Coppito, L'Aquila Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Lupparelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cattedra di Malattie dell'Apparato Locomotore Dipartimento di Scienze Chirurgiche Facolt\u00e0 di Medicina e Chirurgia Universit\u00e0 degli Studi dell'Aquila Piazzale Salvatore Tommasi 1 67010 Coppito, L'Aquila Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pierandrea","family":"Giuliani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cattedra di Malattie dell'Apparato Locomotore Dipartimento di Scienze Chirurgiche Facolt\u00e0 di Medicina e Chirurgia Universit\u00e0 degli Studi dell'Aquila Piazzale Salvatore Tommasi 1 67010 Coppito, L'Aquila Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749\u20108063(97)90211\u20105"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2005.02.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465020300010401"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/jars.2001.21507"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/17453677908989808"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749\u20108063(99)70053\u20108"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00132585\u2010200311040\u201000004"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","first-page":"973","volume-title":"The adult knee","author":"Timmermann SA","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/sarh.2001.27659"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","first-page":"109","article-title":"Clinical interpretation of cysts in the popliteal space using computerised tomography","volume":"10","author":"Trecco F","year":"1984","journal-title":"Ital J Orthop Traumatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/0147-7447-19910201-09"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.knee.2003.07.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3310\/hta2030"}],"container-title":["Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/content\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00167-007-0383-z.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00167-007-0383-z\/fulltext.html","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00167-007-0383-z","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]],"date-time":"2025-10-19T09:18:19Z","timestamp":1760865499000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1007\/s00167-007-0383-z"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,8]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1007\/s00167-007-0383-z"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s00167-007-0383-z","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0942-2056","1433-7347"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0942-2056","type":"print"},{"value":"1433-7347","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,8]]}}}
