Discussion

Two cases of arthroscopically resected ganglion cysts from the infrapatellar fat pad, indicating effective surgical outcomes.

No ganglion recurrence was observed in both patients after arthroscopic resection, showing positive outcomes.
Case 1 involved a young woman with a diffuse mass in the knee joint, and surgical removal was successful after six months.
Case 2 included a woman with osteoarthritis and a multifocal mass; successful resection with osteotomy occurred over two years.
The findings support arthroscopic resection's efficacy for ganglion cysts in the infrapatellar region, highlighting surgical benefits.

Cha et al. (2025) studied this question.
