Endoscopic Ganglionectomy of Palmar Ganglion via Flexor Carpi Radialis Tendoscopy.

ABSTRACT: Palmar ganglion is rare. Deep palmar ganglion usually arises from the wrist joint and may cause compression neuropathy. Superficial palmar ganglion may arise from the flexor tendons of the wrist. The chance of compression neuropathy is expected to be less than deep palmar ganglion. However, there is a higher chance of perforation through the skin and the ganglion may affect hand grip. Open resection of the ganglion does not require extensive deep soft tissue dissection. However, the skin incision can still be extensile to trace the stalk to the tendon of origin. The purpose of this Technical Note is to report the details of endoscopic ganglionectomy for superficial palmar ganglion arising from the flexor carpi radialis tendon.

Arthroscopic Tenovaginotomy and Ganglion Excision of the Flexor Carpi Radialis Fibro-Osseous Tendon Sheath.

Project description:The treatment of flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendon stenosing tenosynovitis recalcitrant to nonsurgical intervention has been open or blind tenovaginotomy of the volar trapezial fibro-osseous sheath of the FCR tendon. The surgical literature has not reported arthroscopic tenovaginotomy of the FCR fibro-osseous tendon sheath with or without associated ganglia. This report describes a technique of arthroscopic tenovaginotomy for stenosing tenosynovitis of the FCR tendon at the trapezial fibro-osseous sheath with or without excision of any associated ganglion through a not previously described new volar radial trapezial arthroscopic portal.

Incidental Flexor Carpi Radialis Tendinopathy on Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Project description:Background: Wrist pain is often nonspecific. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is regularly obtained to evaluate wrist pain. Variations and pathophysiology identified on MRI may not account for patient's clinical symptoms. This study aims to quantify the prevalence of flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendinopathy on MRI and the coexistence of trapeziometacarpal (TMC) or scaphotrapeziotrapezoid (STT) osteoarthritis. Methods: Using an institutional research database, we identified 3631 adult patients who obtained an MRI of the wrist during a 15-year period. Text search in the radiology reports identified 302 patients with possible FCR signal abnormalities. After reviewing the medical records, 98 patients were identified with FCR tendinopathy. Furthermore, medical records were used to identify pain located on the volar radial part of the wrist. In the absence of a documented examination consistent with FCR tendinopathy, we considered any signal change in the FCR incidental. Results: We identified 55 patients (55%) with incidental FCR tendinopathy. In a bivariate analysis, we found FCR signal changes on the MRI were associated with older age, white race, clinically suspected FCR tendinopathy, volar-radial sided wrist pain, and TMC and STT arthritis. Using multivariable logistic regression to account for confounding, older age and volar-radial sided wrist pain were independently associated with FCR signal changes on MRI. Conclusions: Signal changes in the FCR are infrequent and often incidental (asymptomatic) or associated with peritrapezial osteoarthritis.

Endoscopic Ganglionectomy of the Volar Radial Wrist Ganglion.

Project description: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.

Flexor Pollicis Longus Tendoscopy.

Project description:The deep palmar spaces of the hand include the midpalmar space, the hypothenar space, the thenar space, space of Parona, and the interdigital web spaces. There are various communications between different spaces. These communications are of clinical importance in explaining the spread of inflammatory, infectious, and even neoplasic processes that involve this region. Surgical incision and drainage of all potentially communicating spaces and compartments is mandatory in deep hand infections. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the minimally invasive approach of endoscopic drainage and debridement of the flexor pollicis longus tendon sheath, radial bursa, and thenar space.

Sarcomere lengths in human extensor carpi radialis brevis measured by microendoscopy.

Project description:Second-harmonic generation microendoscopy is a minimally invasive technique to image sarcomeres and measure their lengths in humans, but motion artifact and low signal have limited the use of this novel technique.We discovered that an excitation wavelength of 960 nm maximized image signal; this enabled an image acquisition rate of 3 frames/s, which decreased motion artifact. We then used microendoscopy to measure sarcomere lengths in the human extensor carpi radialis brevis with the wrist at 45° extension and 45° flexion in 7 subjects. We also measured the variability in sarcomere lengths within single fibers.Average sarcomere lengths in 45° extension were 2.93±0.29 ?m (±SD) and increased to 3.58±0.19 ?m in 45° flexion. Within single fibers the standard deviation of sarcomere lengths in series was 0.20 ?m.Microendoscopy can be used to measure sarcomere lengths at different body postures. Lengths of sarcomeres in series within a fiber vary substantially.

Endoscopic Ganglionectomy of the Elbow.

Project description:Resection of the ganglion of the elbow is indicated if the size or location of the cyst impairs function or causes significant pain. Arthroscopic decompression or endoscopic resection of the cyst is the minimally invasive surgical option. It has the potential advantage of better cosmetic results and less soft-tissue dissection. Endoscopic resection is indicated if the cyst is not communicating with the joint or the communication is not identifiable arthroscopically or if there is a long and narrow communication placing the cyst away from the elbow joint. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging is essential for surgical planning.

Little Finger Flexor Tendoscopy, Endoscopy of the Ulnar Bursa and Midpalmar Space.

Project description:Inflammatory, infectious, and even neoplastic processes can involve the deep subfascial space of the hand. Suppurative deep-space infection is treated primarily with surgical drainage. Open approaches to these deep spaces carry the risk of exposed flexor tendons and nerves without adequate soft tissue coverage. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the technical details of little finger flexor tendoscopy, endoscopy of the ulnar bursa and midpalmar space, which will reduce the risk of exposed tendons or nerves associated with open approaches and allow aggressive hand therapy in the early postoperative period because of the minimal surgical trauma and small surgical wounds.

Endoscopic Ganglionectomy of the Tarsal Tunnel: A Medial Approach.

Project description:A ganglion inside the tarsal tunnel can compress the tibial nerve, leading to posterior tarsal tunnel syndrome. Classically, the ganglion is resected with an open approach. This requires release of the flexor retinaculum and dissection around the tibial neurovascular bundle, which may induce fibrosis around the tibial nerve. Endoscopic resection of a tarsal tunnel ganglion via a posterior approach has been reported. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the medial approach of endoscopic ganglionectomy of the tarsal tunnel. This is indicated for tarsal tunnel ganglia compressing the tibial nerve and extending to the flexor retinaculum. It is contraindicated if there is other pathology of the tarsal tunnel that demands open surgery; the ganglion compresses the tibial nerve from its deep side and does not extend to the flexor retinaculum; or in the presence of intraneural ganglion of the tibial nerve.

Endoscopic Ganglionectomy and Release of the Sixth Extensor Compartment.

Project description:Stenosing tenosynovitis of the extensor carpi ulnaris is one of the causes of dorsoulnar wrist pain. Conservative treatment is usually effective to alleviate the pain. Surgical release of the retinaculum of the sixth extensor compartment is indicated if conservative treatment cannot alleviate the pain. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the technical details of endoscopic release of the sixth extensor compartment via a 2-portal approach. Endoscopic resection of a ganglion over the sixth compartment can also be performed via the same approach.

Endoscopic Ganglionectomy of the Extensor Digitorum Longus Tendon: An Extraganglionic Approach.

Project description:AbstractGanglion is the most common soft tissue mass in the foot and can be painful and affect comfort wearing shoes. The usual treatment of a ganglion is conservative: careful neglect, manual rupture, or aspiration. When the lesion is recurrent or painful, surgical excision is recommended. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the extraganglionic approach of endoscopic ganglionectomy of the extensor digitorum longus tendon. This surgery has the advantage of being minimally invasive and having better cosmetic result, with less surgical trauma to the soft tissue.Level of evidenceLevel 1: foot and ankle; Level 2: other (ganglion).
