Abstract
Subchondral cysts in the knee may occur in the progression of osteoarthrosis. We report on bilateral subchondral cysts located in the lateral femoral condyle in an active 39-year-old man presenting with knee pain at rest. Relief was achieved with arthroscopic decompression. Current research and increasing knowledge may help explain this uncommon presentation. Selected cases of this type can benefit from arthroscopic decompression.
