Knee damage caused by a sports injury or a blow to the knee can lead to a Baker's cyst developing. A Baker's cyst can also sometimes occur if you have a health condition such as: osteoarthritis – usually caused by age-related "wear and tear" of joints; it particularly affects the knees, hips, hands and big toe.
A lubricating fluid called synovial (sih-NO-vee-ul) fluid helps your leg swing smoothly and reduces friction between the moving parts of your knee. But sometimes the knee produces too much synovial fluid, resulting in buildup of fluid in an area on the back of your knee (popliteal bursa), causing a Baker's cyst.
A Baker cyst is seen medially (arrowhead). Transverse ultrasonographic image of the knee in a patient who had recent arthroscopy shows a complex, cystic mass (arrow) in the medial aspect of popliteal fossa. The mass communicates with the knee joint (arrowhead), which is consistent with a Baker cyst.
A meniscal cyst is a mixture of joint fluid produced by a tear within the meniscus tendon and the joint pad over the knee. It mostly has no symptoms. It takes place when synovial fluid becomes enclosed, often secondary to a meniscal tear. They are mostly uncommon occurrences that cause pain and disability in the knee.
