How do you treat a subarticular cyst in the knee?

Treatment for a subarticular cyst in the knee typically involves conservative management, such as rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications to alleviate pain and swelling. If the cyst causes significant discomfort or functional impairment, options may include aspiration to remove fluid and relieve pressure, or corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation. In persistent or severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to excise the cyst or address any underlying causes, such as cartilage damage. Physical therapy may also be recommended to strengthen the knee and improve mobility.
