[Methods] Retrospective analysis of hospital in January 2002 ~ December 2005 with partial knee meniscus to add the decompression for the treatment of nine cases of meniscal cyst patients, 3 males and 6 females; age of 16 ~ 54 years old, the average (32.5 ± 14.1) years of age; course of 2 months to 2 years, the average (13.4 ± 6.8) months. One cases of cyst medial meniscus, lateral meniscus cyst in 8 cases. Meniscal cysts occurred in five cases of anterior horn area, body area in 3 cases, posterior horn area in 1 case. Parts of the level of torn meniscus cyst in 6 cases, complex split in 3 cases. Arthroscopic meniscus cracks and cysts to determine similarities Across meniscus partial resection, pay attention to retain the edge of the meniscus, and then through the meniscus cracks into planing device line cyst decompression resection, resection of cyst wall, cyst and the knee joint cavity to expand inter-channel. To guide patients undergoing limb quadriceps muscle after functional exercise. Postoperative follow-up time of 6 to 38 months, the average (17.2 ± 9.8) months, compared to the Lysholm score before and after surgery, inferred treatment outcomes. [Results] 9 patients had no recurrence during follow-up, knee pain and swelling symptoms disappeared or significantly reduced the scope of activities returned to normal, no further interlocking snapping and joints, knee mass disappeared. No infection, neurovascular injury, joint activities, such as surgical complications is limited. Lysholm score before surgery (70.2 ± 7.8) hours after surgery increased to (96.7 ± 3.3) minutes (t =- 9.3868, P = 0.000). [Conclusion] Pa
