Abstract:Abstract: Objective?To study the application effect of arthroscopic surgery via double posteromedial approach in clinical treatment of Baker’s cyst.?Methods?30 patients with Baker’s cyst were recruited from Jan 2013 to Jan 2019. All the patients were randomly divided into experimental group (15 patients) and control group (15 patients). The patients in experimental group were treated with arthroscopic surgery via double posteromedial approach, and the patients in control group were treated with traditional open surgery. The total operation time, length of incision, leaving bed time, length of hospital stay and VAS score were compared between the two groups. Besides, the improvement of function of knee and therapeutic effect of Baker’s cyst were also compared between the experimental group and the control group through Lysholm score and Rauschning-Lindgren classification. The recurrences of the two groups were evaluated one year after surgery.?Results?The total operation time (48.24 ± 7.21) vs (67.97 ± 11.62), length of incision (6.27 ± 0.90) vs (9.23 ± 1.17), leaving bed time (1.04 ± 0.21) vs (2.86 ± 0.86) and length of hospital stay (4.63 ± 1.23) vs (7.30 ± 2.51) were significantly reduced in the experimental group than that in control group (P < 0.05). Besides, the VAS scores in 24 hours after surgery in the experimental group were also lower than that in the control group [(3.27 ± 1.21) vs (6.72 ± 2.18), P < 0.05]. In the evaluation of the function of knee, the Lysholm score of the two groups were markedly improved after treatments, but the Lysholm score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group after surgery [(88.23 ± 4.27) vs (79.27 ± 4.07), P < 0.05]. In addition, the effective rate of Rauschning-Lindgren classification in the experimental group was 93.3%, which was significantly higher than 60.0% of the control group (P < 0.05). With a follow-up visit one year after the treatment, 1 case in the experimental group and 2 cases in the control group recurred, but the rate of recurrences have no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).?Conclusion?Because of the advantages in surgical trauma, postoperative recovery and clinical effects, arthroscopic surgery via double posteromedial approach could be used for clinical treatment of Baker’s cyst, which should be widely promoted in clinic.
