A member asked:
I found out i have a complex septated popliteal cyst without rupture that is 5cm. what is usually done with this kind of cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: No intervention needed unless symptomatic. If problems occur. Rest and elevate leg. If you continue to have issues see an orthopedic doctor for eval. May drain it to help with the pain. Possibly inject the area with Cortisone Only in severe cases does it need to be removed.
