Background: Mucoid degeneration of the anterior cruciate ligament (MD-ACL) is a chronic degenerative process involving a hypertrophied ACL, which may lead to notch impingement syndrome. As a treatment method, there is consensus regarding arthroscopic resection for MD-ACL resulting in good clinical outcomes; however, additional notchplasty remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate clinical outcomes after arthroscopic partial resection of the ACL and additional notchplasty performed to minimize volume reduction of the ACL. Study Design: Level IIIb retrospective cohort study. Methods: Of 1810 individuals who underwent knee arthroscopic surgery performed by the same surgeon between July 2011 and October 2020, 52 were included, while 10 were excluded due to a follow-up period of <1 year. Clinical data including pain location, terminal flexion or extension pain, range of motion (ROM), Lysholm knee score, and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score were assessed pre- and postoperatively. Additionally, according to the resected volume of the ACL, patients were classified into two groups: <25% (Group 1), and 25–50% (Group 2). Clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results: There were 17 (40.5%) men and 25 (59.5%) women with a mean age of 53.9 years (range, 16–81 years) at the time of surgery. The mean duration of symptoms before surgery was 14.4 months (range, 3–66 months). Arthroscopic partial resection of the MD-ACL was performed in all patients, and concomitant notchplasty was performed in 36 (81.8%). All clinical scores improved postoperatively, and were statistically significant (p < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference in clinical outcomes between groups 1 and 2 classified according to the resected ACL volume. Recurrence of MD-ACL was recorded in only one patient, 11 months after arthroscopic treatment. No patients underwent ACL reconstruction because of symptoms of anterior instability. Conclusion: Arthroscopic partial resection of the ACL and concomitant notchplasty yielded satisfactory outcomes for the treatment of MD-ACL. Notchplasty may be an alternative procedure to avoid total ACL resection and postoperative instability.

Anterior Cruciate

Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the knee joint are rare and most frequently are an incidental finding on MRI and arthroscopy. Most of the previous studies have reported a single ganglion cyst in the knee. There have been previous reports of more than one cyst in the same knee but not in the same structure within the knee. We are reporting a case of dual ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) ganglion cysts one of which was missed on radiological examination but later detected during arthroscopy. To the best of our knowledge, no such case has been reported in the indexed English literature till date.
