Sonography-guided arthroscopic excision is more effective for treating volar wrist ganglion than dorsal wrist ganglion.
Acta Orthopaedica Belgica 2018 March
The purpose of this study was to compare the treatment results of sonography-guided arthroscopic excision for volar and dorsal wrist ganglions. A total of 42 patients with wrist ganglions underwent sonography-guided arthroscopic resection. Clinical outcome measures included wrist range of motion, grip strength, patient-rated questionnaire Hand20, and numerical pain rating scale. All patients were assessed for recurrence throughout the follow-up period. Ganglions were located at the dorsal wrist in 26 cases and at the volar wrist in 16 cases. The mean Hand20 and pain scores were significantly improved after sonography-guided arthroscopic resection for both volar and dorsal wrist ganglions. Recurrence was seen in six cases (23%) of dorsal wrist ganglion but no cases of volar wrist ganglion (P < .05). The use of sonography-guided arthroscopic ganglion excision is better for treating volar wrist ganglion than dorsal wrist ganglion.
