chondromalacia patella grade II and baker's cyst

[mdabic]

Hi!
My two specialists orthopedics disagree in question does chond. patella grade II induce a baker's cyst or not. One says that the cartilage defect have to bee much larger to produce a baker's cyst and that damaged meniscus is the reason for that (MRI shows just a degeneration, not a rupture of the meniscus). The other says my meniscus is fine and the problem is CP grade II.
I have overturned the Internet for the information but didn't find an explicit answer.
If anyone have any idea or resource for the answer I'll really appreciate.
Thank you very much in advance!

Hello,
I have CP and have a Baker cyst behind  my left knee, had cyst drained 25mls came out, but has returned, However I have grade IV CP so I would guess that your CP is perhaps more advanced. I had anthroscopy which has not helped, and I am only 29years old.

I am aware that CP can induce baker's cyst but does grade II can induce it?
Oncologist!? Why do you think I need to see an oncologist? GULP!
Thanks for your answer.

Hi,
Chondromalacia of the patella can induce Baker's cyst,no doubt about it.Have a third opinion with an Oncologist.
Goodluck.
