From a total of 1571 surgically excised menisci, 112 (7.1 per cent) were found by gross and microscopic examination to contain one or more cysts. All of these cysts were associated with tears, either primarily horizontal or with a horizontal component. Tracks were often demonstrable leading from the tear to the cysts, and in some cases of osteoarthritis, detritus of bone could be found in their periphery. It is concluded that the cysts are fuelled by synovial fluid. The relationship of cysts to "myxoid" change of the meniscus is discussed.
在总共1571个手术切除的半月板中，经大体和显微镜检查发现，112个（7.1%）含有一个或多个囊肿。所有这些囊肿均与撕裂相关，撕裂主要为水平方向或含有水平成分。通常可显示出从撕裂处通向囊肿的通道，在一些骨关节炎病例中，囊肿周边可发现骨碎屑。得出的结论是，囊肿由滑液供能。文中讨论了囊肿与半月板“黏液样”改变的关系。
