Ganglion cysts of the cruciate ligaments detected by MRI

Int Orthop. 1999;23(1):58-60. doi: 10.1007/s002640050305.

Abstract

Eight patients with ganglion cysts arising from the cruciate ligaments of the knee joint underwent arthroscopic excision after the MR examination. The MR findings, clinical features and arthroscopic findings were evaluated comparatively.

Après un examen IRM, huit patients présentant des kystes se développant à partir des ligaments croisés du genou, ont subi une excision arthroscopique. Les résultats de l’examen IRM, de l’examen clinique et de l’examen arthroscopique ont été comparés.
