Baker's cyst
Subject: Baker's cyst

A Baker's cyst, otherwise known as a popliteal cyst, is a benign swelling found behind the knee joint. It is named after the surgeon who first described it, Dr. William Morrant Baker (1839-1896).


There is a trend toward reducing the number of punctuation marks (which I personally think is promoting the illiteracy which is already rampant in this country), but in more than 20 years as a rad MT and a rad tech, I have never heard anything except Baker's cyst.

very annoying young woman who says in her "Plan": ortho RICE ... I've googled but I can't find this as an "entity" -- I know was RICE is -- but usually she has not mentioned any form of "compression", so in my irritation I've just been leaving it at RICE ... would you spell it out or leave abbreviated? Ditto BRAT diet which can be banana, rice, apple sauce/apple juice + tea/toast so I leave it at BRAT.
