INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Meniscotibial ligament (MTL) has received attention as a major meniscus stabilizer. An MTL injury results in instability and extrusion of the meniscus. Cases of knee ganglion cyst formation due to an MTL tear and medial meniscus extrusion (ME) are extremely rare.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 42-year-old female Japanese childcare worker presented painful ganglion cysts on the proximal medial side of her left tibia. An MTL tear and medial ME were thought to be involved in the ganglion formation. Joint fluid flowed through the meniscotibial side of the extruded meniscus into the space between the medial collateral ligament and tibia, where the MTL tear acted as a check valve, forming ganglion cysts. Ultrasonography-guided aspiration of the ganglion was attempted, but ganglion cysts recurred within 1 month. We used an open excision for the ganglion cysts, and arthroscopic capsulodesis was performed to repair the MTL and internalize the medial meniscus to block the inflow route from the intra-articular space.
CLINICAL DISCUSSION: We performed capsulodesis, which repaired the MTL and internalized the medial meniscus to prevent the recurrence of the ganglion cyst. Three months have passed since the surgery, with no recurrence of knee pain or ganglion cysts, indicating good short-term results.
CONCLUSIONS: We encountered a rare case of ganglion cyst formation in the knee joint due to MTL tear and medial ME. Arthroscopic MTL repair and internalization of the meniscus by capsulodesis were effective in treating the ganglion cysts.
