  2. Small saphenous vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_saphenous_vein

    Sometimes, the SSV joins the common gastrocnemius vein before draining in the popliteal vein. [2] Sometimes, it does not make contact with the popliteal vein, but goes up to drain in the GSV at a variable level. [1] Instead of draining in the popliteal vein, it can merge with the Giacomini vein and drain in the GSV at the superior 1/3 of the thigh.

  3. Baker's cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker's_cyst

    Baker's cysts arise between the tendons of the medial head of the gastrocnemius and the semimembranosus muscles. They are posterior to the medial femoral condyle . The synovial sac of the knee joint can, under certain circumstances, produce a posterior bulge, into the popliteal space , the space behind the knee.

  4. Bone cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_cyst

    Some unicameral bone cysts may spontaneously resolve without medical intervention. Specific treatments are determined based on the size of the cyst, the strength of the bone, medical history, extent of the disease, activity level, symptoms an individual is experiencing, and tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies.

  5. Unicameral bone cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicameral_bone_cyst

    A unicameral bone cyst, also known as a simple bone cyst, is a cavity filled with a yellow-colored fluid. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] It is considered to be benign since it does not spread beyond the bone. [ 4 ] Unicameral bone cysts can be classified into two categories: active and latent. [ 4 ]

  6. Giacomini vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giacomini_vein

    The Giacomini vein or cranial extension of the small saphenous vein [1] is a communicating vein between the great saphenous vein (GSV) and the small saphenous vein (SSV). It is named after the Italian anatomist Carlo Giacomini (1840–1898). The Giacomini vein courses the posterior thigh as either a trunk projection, or tributary of the SSV.

  7. Pseudocyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudocyst

    Pseudocysts are like cysts, but lack epithelial or endothelial cells. Initial management consists of general supportive care. Symptoms and complications caused by pseudocysts require surgery. Computed tomography (CT) scans are used for initial imaging of cysts, and endoscopic ultrasounds are used in differentiating between cysts and pseudocysts.

  8. Popliteal vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popliteal_vein

    The tributaries of the popliteal vein include: Veins that correspond to branches given off by the popliteal artery (see popliteal artery). the small saphenous vein, which perforates the deep fascia and passes between the two heads of the gastrocnemius muscle to end in the popliteal vein. [1] [2] the fibular veins.

  9. Perforator vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perforator_vein

    However research has shown that there is a clear association between the presence of IPVs and recurrent varicose veins. [8] Before 1985, the ligation of IPVs needed open surgery. In 1985, G. Hauer described the Sub-fascial endoscopic perforator vein surgery (SEPS) technique [9] allowing IPVs to be clipped through a small incision.
