Baker’s Cyst Anatomy And Physiology To better understand a Baker’s cyst‚ it helps to understand the anatomy of the knee joint. A cyst is a lined sac that contains fluid. Cysts that form around joints are due to a bulging of the joint capsule. A Baker’s cyst develops from the knee joint capsule. It protrudes into the tissues in the back of the knee. Four bones come together at the knee joint: * Patella/Kneecap - The patella is a small‚ flat‚ round bone that articulates with the femur in
