Common causes
- Often secondary to an underlying joint issue (meniscal tear, osteoarthritis)
- Accumulation of synovial fluid at the back of the knee
Symptoms
- Swelling or lump behind the knee
- Tension or discomfort in full flexion
- Pain if the cyst ruptures
Diagnosis
Our approach
The first step is always a medical consultation. Complementing this: clinical assessment by the physiotherapist. Ultrasound with Dr Massimo Donalisio to confirm and investigate the underlying cause.
Care at Off-Field
- Physiotherapy and physical preparation focused on the underlying cause (meniscal, osteoarthritic) rather than the cyst alone
- In coordination with Dr Massimo Donalisio when indicated: aspiration or injection if the cyst is symptomatic
