Endoscopic Ganglionectomy of the Volar Radial Wrist Ganglion.


ABSTRACT: Volar ganglion cyst of the wrist is a common hand problem faced by orthopaedic surgeons. Excision is indicated if it is painful. Arthroscopic ganglionectomy of the wrist ganglion has been reported with the advantage of minimally invasive surgery. Most of them involve elimination of the valvular mechanism and internal drainage of the ganglion fluid to the wrist joint. The access of the ganglion sac is limited especially for a multiloculated cyst. The purpose of this Technical Note is to report the technique of endoscopic resection of the volar radial wrist ganglion. This can ensure complete resection of the ganglion sac especially for the multiloculated one.
