Abstract
Intraduction. In orthopedic practice, modern surgical treatment of popliteal Baker’s cysts is carried out using arthroscopic methods. Surgical treatment of Baker’s cysts is variable, there is no consensus on the technique and extent of surgical intervention. To date, the search for optimal solutions for arthroscopic intervention remains relevant, which would reduce the cost of patient recovery.
The aim of the work is to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical treatment of Baker’s cyst using arthroscopic technologies according to scientific publications.
Methods. An analysis of 47 literature sources was performed and a comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of surgical treatment of Baker’s cyst, including the use of arthroscopic posteromedial access, was carried out.
Keywords: Baker’s cyst, popliteal cyst, surgical treatment, arthroscopic approach.
