Treatment of Volar Wrist Ganglions : Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics

- Discussion:
- 20% of all ganglia
- most common site at volar wrist crease between the FCR and APL at the scaphotrapezoid joint;
- volar ganglions may be less amenable to aspiration than dorsal ganglions since the radial artery may be adjacent to the cyst
    - recurrence rate after surgery:
             - The simple wrist ganglion--more than a minor surgical procedure?
             - [Surgical treatment of volar wrist ganglia].
    - need for surgical cauterization to prevent recurrence:
   - A new sclerotherapy technique for the wrist ganglion: transcutaneous electrocauterization.
             - Preliminary report of the effectiveness of tetracycline sclerotherapy in treatment of ganglion
