Surgery or other procedures. To reduce the size of the cyst, your care provider may drain the fluid from the cyst using a needle. This is called needle aspiration and is often performed with ultrasound guidance. If a joint problem is causing the cyst, arthroscopic surgery may be performed to repair the problem.

These fluid-filled cysts form a lump at the back of the knee that often causes stiffness and discomfort. The condition is named after the 19 th century surgeon who first described it, Dr. William Morrant Baker. Baker's cysts typically result from a problem inside the knee joint, such as osteoarthritis or a meniscus tear.
