Abstract:
Intraarticular ganglion of the knee joint is a cystic mass found around cruciate ligaments in infrapatellar fat pad or under patellar tendon. The first report on intraarticular ganglion of the knee joint along with some intermittent case reports or ganglion around the cruciate ligaments were in 1924 by Caan. Ganglion under the patellar tendon or in the patellar fat pad was first reported in 1972 by Muckle and Monahan. The two cases were treated with open arthotomy and mass excision. There was been no report on ganglion under patellar tendon since then. We managed two cases of ganglion under the patellar tendon with arthroscopic debridement. After 16 months of treatment, there has no recurrence of symptom. We report two cases of ganglion under patellar tendon with the review of the literature.
