“…We added a postero-medial approach and were eventually able to find the cyst posterior to the PCL. Previous articles [1][2][3][4][5][6] described the origins of a ganglion as the ACL or the PCL. However, it was difficult to distinguish whether the origin was the ACL or the PCL, because we could often observe only a part of the cyst by arthroscopy, and on MRI the cyst was often seen to be attached to both ligaments.…”

“…The exact pathogenesis of ACL mucoid degeneration is still unknown, to our knowledge. Potential causes include synovial lining defects causing exposure of the ACL to degradative synovial environment effects (33,34), posttraumatic release of glycosaminoglycans by fibroblasts that become interspersed between ACL fibers (35), and congenital synovial tissue ectopia (36,37). Our study showed that ACL mucoid degeneration was associated with progressive radiographic JSL (in participants with less baseline cartilage surface area damage), a marker for MTFC cartilage loss and meniscal damage (38).…”

Purpose To determine whether anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) mucoid degeneration in participants with or at risk for osteoarthritis is associated with longitudinal risk of radiographic progression of medial tibiofemoral compartment joint space loss (JSL). Materials and Methods Baseline demographic, clinical, radiographic, and Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS) data were evaluated in 600 participants from the Osteoarthritis Initiative database. Two blinded musculoskeletal radiologists independently evaluated baseline MR images for ACL mucoid degeneration. Multiple logistic regression was used to investigate the association between ACL mucoid degeneration at MR imaging and JSL progression at radiography, defined as a minimum joint space width decrease greater than 0.7 mm (48 months; cutoff according to mean and standard deviation of 1-year minimum joint space width changes in 90 knees of reference group). Stratified analysis was performed based on baseline cartilage surface damage. Results Knees with ACL mucoid degeneration showed a greater proportion of JSL progression compared with knees with a normal ACL (64% vs 47%; P = .004). After adjustment for all demographic, clinical, radiographic, and MOAKS variables, ACL mucoid degeneration was not statistically significantly associated with JSL progression in the entire cohort (adjusted odds ratio, 1.66; 95% confidence interval: 1.00, 2.77; P = .051). In subgroup analysis, ACL mucoid degeneration was statistically significantly associated with JSL progression in participants with less baseline cartilage surface damage (maximum cartilage surface loss of ≤75% in all subregions [P = .015] and ≤4 of involved subregions with cartilage surface loss [P = .028]). Conclusion ACL mucoid degeneration in participants with or at risk for osteoarthritis is associated with progression of medial tibiofemoral compartment JSL in knees with less baseline cartilage surface area damage.
