Atul Bandi1*, Raghavan Sivaram2, Rahul Bagul3 and Hesham Al Khateeb4

A B S T R A C T: We report a case of an intraosseous ganglion in the upper end of the tibia which was managed arthroscopically. A sixty-five years old gentleman presented with left sided knee pain, plain radiographs demonstrated a small well circumscribed radiolucent lesion with thin sclerotic margins in the subchondral region of the proximal tibia. An MRI examination revealed the lesion measuring 1x1 centimetre in diameter and was noted to extend in to the articular surface.
