N2 - Purpose: We retrospectively analyzed patients' characteristics, underlying diseases, and size of lesion between ruptured and non-ruptured Baker's cysts (BC). Method: We retrospectively reviewed the hospital records of 198 patients with 161 unilateral and 37 bilateral BCs that were diagnosed by musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSU) at a rheumatology department from June 2006 to June 2009. Result: We found 235 BCs of which 22 were ruptured (11 right and 11 left knees). Non-ruptured BC and associated diseases occurance were as follows: Osteoarthritis (OA) (125), gout (41), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (21), pseudogout (13), and spondyloarthropathy (SpA) (13). Ruptured BCs were associated with the following diseases: RA (11), OA (4), gout (3), SpA (1), systemic lupus erythematosus (1), pseudogout (1), and polymyositis (1). Conclusion: OA was the leading cause of non-ruptured Baker's cysts while RA with active arthritis were the major causes of ruptured BCs. MSU was found to be a useful tool for identifying these diseases in rheumatologic clinics.
