Abstract | INTRODUCTION: There are nearly no studies about the association between Baker's cyst (BC) and medial meniscal tear ( MMT) using ultrasonography. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Nonselected patients who were referred for ultrasonography for the evaluation of knee pain were recruited. Demographic, clinical, and ultrasound parameters were documented. RESULTS: One-hundred and nineteen patients were included and 131 knees were evaluated. There were 59 (~50%) female patients and mean age of 46.4±17.7 years. BC was found in 31 knees (23%). BC was significantly associated with MMT (P=.029) and age (P=.002) after adjusting for other covariates. CONCLUSIONS: BC was strongly associated with MMT regardless of other intraarticular abnormalities.
