Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The lateral patellar tilt with mild subluxation is due to the degenerative changes of the knee and suspected tear. The debris in the baker's cyst could be due to mild blood or infection inside it. If it is symptomatic, surgical treatment may be needed.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
