title: Arthroscopic repair of chronic capsular defect after popliteal cystectomy.
abstract: We present an arthroscopic repair technique (all inside suture) for chronic capsular defect of posterolateral space of knee joint developed after previous popliteal cystectomy. We use a transseptal posteromedial viewing portal, and two posterolateral working portals. This procedure can be an alternative to an open repair technique for a posterior capsular defect after open cystectomy.
