Benign ganglion (synovial) cysts within the knee are uncommon and especially so when located in the infrapatellar fad pad. They cause many non-specific symptoms but usually present as a swelling. We report the case of a young gentleman with multiple benign synovial cysts within the fat pad causing a locked knee, which was treated with arthroscopically assisted open excision. We can find no previous reports of isolated multiple fat pad cysts causing acute locking of the knee.
How is this determined?
