Periosteal ganglion cyst of tibia: A rare case report

“…The primary complication associated with surgical removal of ganglion cysts is their recurrence. The recurrence rate for ganglion cysts is generally estimated to be between 15 % and 20 % [ 12 , 13 ]. Prevention for periosteal ganglion cysts include avoiding occupational hazards that has risk of injuring the joint or resting the wrists and fingers after long time of exertion [ 14 ].…”

Idiopathic intraosseous ganglion of the distal tibia in a young adult male: A case report with review of literature

“…Although the etiology of the intraosseous ganglion remains unknown, various theories have been postulated. 11,12 There are two types of intraosseous ganglionic cysts -those that originate by herniation of an extraosseous ganglion into the underlying bone "penetrating" and those that are "idiopathic." 8 The idiopathic type occurs due to chronic repetitive microtrauma or chronic ischemia, which leads to mucoid degeneration, and it is not associated with soft-tissue extension.…”

Removal of osteoblastoma of the talar neck using standard anterior ankle Arthroscopy：A case report

“…Ankle joint tumors are usually removed by open surgery, which facilitates exposure and complete resection [2] , [5] . Since 1995, when Resnick et al first introduced arthroscopic resection of an osteoid osteoma in the ankle, an increasing number of cases treated in this manner have been reported with successful outcomes [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] . Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical method offering the advantages of a shorter hospitalization time, a reduced risk of infection, and a reduced need for long postoperative rehabilitation [26] .…”
