A large baker’s cyst What is a Baker’s Cyst? A Baker’s cyst is also known as a popliteal cyst and is a collection of fluid at the back of the knee. A lump develops behind the knee. They are very common. Keep reading to find out about Baker’s Cyst treatment, as well as common causes. We offer specialist orthopaedic treatment in Doncaster & Sheffield to get you back to feeling like yourself. What Causes a Baker’s Cyst & when should I get treatment? There is a gap in the capsule (joint lining) that allows the synovial fluid to escape from the joint. The small gap acts as a one-way valve so the cyst can increase in size. I’m worried about the cyst – is it nothing to worry about? It’s normal to be concerned about any lump in your body so it’s worth getting it checked out to make sure that’s what it is. An Ultrasound or MRI scan can confirm the diagnosis. A Baker’s cyst is nothing to worry about. MRI showing a baker’s cyst What happens to the cyst over time? Most patients live happily with their cyst and have no treatment for it. Occasionally the cyst may burst, and this causes intense pain and swelling on the calf. Sometimes patients present with a ruptured Baker’s cyst for the first time. The cyst can develop again over time as the valve at the back of the knee is still present. What symptoms does a Baker’s cyst cause? Swelling and pain at the back of the knee. Large cysts can make it difficult to fully bend your knee and produce pressure effects on the local structures. Pain radiating into the calf and a dragging sensation can be due to the cyst. What is the treatment for a baker’s cyst? Most cysts can be left alone especially if they don’t cause problems. Treatment for the cyst depends on whether there is damage inside the knee joint that needs addressing. If there is a cartilage problem or osteoarthritis this may take priority over the cyst. Addressing the knee problem may reduce the cyst but it may be advisable to remove the cyst surgically. An aspiration (removal of fluid with a needle) tends to give only temporary relief. What happens during surgery for a Baker’s Cyst? Most surgeons will make a big incision at the back of the knee to try to remove the cyst that way. It is very difficult to get deep enough to remove the valve so the recurrence rate with surgery is high. Mr Haslam has developed a keyhole method for removal of the Baker’s cyst from the inside, three small incisions are made, and the valve is removed from the back of the knee. The cyst then cannot form. In over 40 cases Mr Haslam has shown this is a reliable and safe technique. I have seen an Orthopaedic Surgeon for Baker’s Cyst treatment & they advised me to leave it alone? Most surgeons don’t like operating on cysts as the success rate from open surgery is low and operating at the back of the knee has a small risk of damage to nerves and blood vessels. The surgeon may not know about a keyhole way of performing the surgery so if you are not happy then ask to see a specialist with an interest in keyhole surgery for Baker’s Cysts. Mr Haslam has 15 years of experience in the surgical treatment of Baker’s Cysts. Get in touch with us to get professional treatment today: Get In Touch

What did I do on my orthopaedic surgeon sabbatical? I’ve been a consultant orthopaedic surgeon in Doncaster since 2006; I’ve however been an officer in the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) reserves since 1992. I’ve managed to balance work, home and military commitment fairly successfully throughout training and consultant practice. I’ve deployed on operations to Camp Bastion, Afghanistan in 2007 and 2012 and again this year as part of a small surgical team in support of operations in the wider middle east. The deployment process Pre-deployment These deployments don’t happen overnight, there’s a fairly lengthy process – from nomination to confirmation to preparation to mobilisation to deployment and finally demobilisation. This involves discussion with employers to get their support for you to be away from work for 6 months or more, to support time for training, and more importantly for discussion with family to get their support, as it would be impossible to deploy without family support. Once nominated (up to a year in advance) and confirmed, the first job is to meet the team you are part of, in my case one of 4 individuals to join a team from a formed unit. Work-up training then took place over 7 months prior to mobilisation in January 2022. This consisted of a number of weekends at various military areas honing military skills (Weapons Handling and Marksmanship, first aid, fitness, CBRN etc) to the required standard, as well as working together as a small medical team and honing required skills to cover all eventualities whilst deployed, including specialist courses required for deployment to an austere environment. The inevitable plethora of vaccinations required occurred: covid, flu, hep B, and anthrax to name a few. Time for deployment Mobilisation occurred in early January 2022; there followed 2 ½ months of pre-Deployment training to tick all the boxes. Paperwork was collated for each member of the team to confirm registration, health status, dental fitness and readiness. This culminates with 2 medical training exercises, each of 2-3 days, where the medical and team working capabilities are tested using simulated casualties that may be expected on operational deployments. Finally, the day for deployment arrives and the team meet at RAF Brize Norton for check-in for the flight to Cyprus, and then onward transfer to the operational theatre. During the tour, which unfortunately remains confidential and non-discussable, I had to return home on compassionate grounds as unfortunately my mother died whilst I was deployed. I returned to theatre after a week to complete my duties. The end of my orthopaedic surgeon sabbatical After 3 months deployed (including the platinum jubilee) and handing over to our replacement team, the return from operations occurs once again through Cyprus and Brize Norton. A brief welcome home and demobilisation, after which all leave accrued during mobilisation must be taken before return to normal work in the NHS. After nearly 2 months leave spent with the family the day arrives when the real world crashes in and “Normal Life” resumes at work with the inevitable questions, most of which have to remain unanswered for security reasons. A somewhat difficult transformation from Military to Civilian life with a formal return to practice programme to mitigate any skill fade whilst deployed. Once again I am grateful for the support received from my employer and colleagues to allow my deployment to have occurred. More importantly, I am eternally grateful to my wonderful wife, Pamela, and my children, Charlotte, Ollie, Eddie and Henry – without whose support and love my military activities would not have been possible.
