Abstract:Background
As a common disease in orthopedic clinics, popliteal cysts often coexist with intra-articular lesions. Compared with traditional open surgery, arthroscopic treatment of popliteal cysts is less traumatic, and intra-articular lesions can be treated. The ‘one-way valve’ mechanism of the popliteal cyst can be removed by expanding the communication between the articular cavity and the cyst to avoid cyst recurrence. In terms of arthroscopic techniques, the comparison of clinical effects be… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
