Abstract

We present a case of meniscal cyst formation 1 year following a successful meniscal repair in a 30-year-old male using a hybrid suture-anchor meniscal repair system. Open excision of the cyst revealed it to be in continuity with the suture-anchor fragments. The patient made an uneventful recovery. Level of evidence V.
