Abstract:

Knee disorders can present in various forms, often involving complex pathologies. The diagnosis and management of these conditions can be challenging, particularly in the absence of associated trauma. A 45-year-old male with a history of chronic right knee pain and clicking presented after failure of conservative treatment modalities. Imaging of the right knee identified multiple pathologies, including a ligament sprain, bone marrow edema, lateral mal tracking of the patella, and advanced chondromalacia patella. Following these findings, the patient underwent arthroscopic surgery. During the procedure, a rare lateral meniscal cystic swelling in the anterior horn was discovered. The surgery included debridement and irrigation, along with the excision of the lateral meniscal cyst. Post-surgery, the patient reported a successful resolution of symptoms. Considering arthroscopic surgery after the failure of other methods can improve patient outcomes.
