“…In addition, cysts may occur de novo or as a complications after surgery [2,3,6]. Separate cysts that are not connected to the knee joint could also be recognized [1,2]. However, the described case is unique in that the associated lesion was a tear of the tibial meniscotibial ligament, i.e., coronary ligament, and the meniscus per se is relatively spared.…”

“…Extraarticular parameniscal cysts are usually associated with meniscal pathologies, such as horizontal tear [1]. In addition, cysts may occur de novo or as a complications after surgery [2,3,6]. Separate cysts that are not connected to the knee joint could also be recognized [1,2].…”

“…Whereas asymptomatic peri-articular cysts can be left intact under careful observation, intervention is indicated for symptomatic cysts that cause irritation, thrombophlebitis, or neurovascular compression are indicated to intervention [2]. Furthermore, while arthroscopic partial meniscectomy of the involved torn meniscus with intraarticular cyst drainage is the widely accepted interventional strategy for the symptomatic cysts [7], intra-articular [8].…”

“…Cysts are relatively common pathologies around the knee joint and may be either connected to or separated from the joint [1][2][3]. Symptomatic cysts causing mechanical symptoms require operative excision [4,5], and when a cyst is connected to the joint cavity by a conduit of synovial fluid, it must be obliterated to prevent recurrence.…”

The authors report a case of peri-articular cyst around the knee joint owing to insufficient meniscotibial ligament. After excision, the defective peripheries of the meniscus and capsule were securely re-attached to the margin of the tibial plateau using suture anchors. A 37-year-old man presented with right knee pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a detached meniscotibial ligament (coronary ligament) on the anteromedial side of the knee joint and an elevated deep medial collateral ligament with cystic fluid collection. The cyst was excised by meticulous dissection to expose the free peripheral edge of the meniscus and the margin of the tibial plateau. Two suture anchors were placed immediately beneath the joint line under the subchondral bone. The attachment of the meniscus to the tibial plateau was rendered secure by arthroscopy. At 9 months postoperatively, the patients had no complaints related to the involved knee.
