How common are Baker’s cysts?
A Baker’s cyst can be a very common complication of conditions that can affect the normal working of the knee joint, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Baker’s cysts are more common in women than men. This may be because women are more likely to develop osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The condition usually develops in people who are over 40, although it can affect people of any age, including children.
