Baker's Cyst
This bulge, also called a "popliteal cyst," forms behind the knee. It's a swollen bursa. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that helps reduce friction between soft tissues and bones. There are several of these sacs in the knee and in other joints. A swollen bursa can be uncomfortable, or even painful.
ATTENTION! Due to construction, the patient drop-off area at our Van Nuys office will be temporarily unavailable beginning Monday, September 11, through Thursday, September 28. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
