Background: The principal aim of this study was to investigate the presence of factors affecting the Baker’s cyst volume in a young and middle-aged population.
Methods: 85 patients were treated with open cyst excision with valve and capsule repair, with knee arthroscopy. The cases were categorized in terms of age, effusion, chondral lesion degree, meniscal tear degree, and Lindgren scores. The USG device was used to calculate cyst volume. The IBM-SPSS 22 program was used for the statistical analysis and to assess the relationship between variables using the Spearman correlation tests.
Results: The degree of the chondral lesion was moderately and positively correlated with cyst volume in the total population. (Correlation coefficient: 0.469, p<0.05).
The degree of the chondral lesion was moderately and positively correlated with the effusion degree of effusion (correlation coefficient: 0.492, p <0.005). The cyst volume was weakly and positively correlated with the degree of effusion. (Correlation coefficient: 0.20, the correlation was at the limits of statistical significance p=0,07<0,08).
Conclusion: This study revealed that an increase in chondral lesion severity particularly increases the amount of effusion and cyst volume.
