Abstract
Introduction: There are nearly no studies about the association between Baker's cyst (BC) and medial meniscal tear (MMT) using ultrasonography. Patients and methods: Nonselected patients who were referred for ultrasonography for the evaluation of knee pain were recruited. Demographic, clinical, and ultrasound parameters were documented. Results: One-hundred and nineteen patients were included and 131 knees were evaluated. There were 59 (~ 50%) female patients and mean age of 46.4± 17.7 years. BC was found in 31 knees (23%). BC was significantly associated with MMT (P = .029) and age (P = .002) after adjusting for other covariates. Conclusions: BC was strongly associated with MMT regardless of other intraarticular abnormalities.
