“…The topic of our study is dorsal wrist ganglion where a lump is present on the back side of wrist joint and where most of them are a symptomatic, then can become a source of cosmetic nuisance, ache in the joint and restriction in the range of movement of the hand. These lumps when increase in size can also cause pressure on dorsal interosseous nerve and patient seek medical help.Reduction in grip strength can also be a presenting symptom 9,10 .…”

Objective: To investigate the clinical outcome of dorsal wrist ganglion treated with surgical excision. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study performed at Kazi Hospital Lahore. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to enroll 50 patients of dorsal wrist ganglion who responded through a questionnaire / research proforma. Surgical excision was done under local anesthesia as day case. Results: We collected data of 55 patients. The mean age of the patients having dorsal wrist ganglion cyst was 31. Female patients were in a larger proportion than male patients. Right wrist was affected in n= 29 (58 %) of the individuals. At the end of our follow up only 2(45) patients had residual pain. Hypertrophic scar has been reported to be associated with the lower patient satisfaction (p = 0.001). Luckily in our study only two patients (4%) had this problem. Conclusion: This study concluded that the outcomes of surgical excision of dorsal wrist ganglion is effective technique with high patient satisfaction and cost effectiveness. Keywords: Dorsal wrist ganglion, aspiration, surgical excision, outcome, patient satisfaction.

“…The dorsal synovial cysts of the wrist are benign tumors developed on the dorsal side of the wrist communicating by a pedicle with the wrist joint most often facing the scapholunate ligament, which is usually preserved [1] . They are the most common benign tumors of the wrist [2] . They represent 55 to 70% of wrist cysts [3][4][5][6] .…”

Introduction:The purpose of this study was to compare the morbidity, functional outcomes and rates of recurrence of arthroscopic versus open excision of dorsal wrist ganglions. Methods: Forty patients with dorsal wrist ganglions were concerned. They were divided into two groups (A and B). In group A there were 25 patients treated by open excision and 15 other patients in group B by arthroscopic excision. Both groups were followed up in average 12 months (range, 9-18 months). The functional outcomes and rates of recurrence were recorded. Results: One recurrence (4%) was observed in group A and 2 recurrences (13.13%) in group B. Wrist active range of motion and grip strength were significantly higher in group B (p<0.001). Three patients (12%) had residual pain in group A and 2 patients (13.13%) in group B. Mean time off work was 15 days in group A and 8 days in group B. All patients in group B were satisfied with cosmetic result. Conclusion: Arthroscopic excision of dorsal wrist ganglion is increasingly performed but remains behind the historical and standard open excision. The duration of the procedure, the cost of surgical materiel, and the learning curve are the main obstacles for the development of arthroscopic excision.

Recent advances and future trends in wrist arthroscopy

For a long time, wrist arthroscopy has languished behind that of shoulder and elbow arthroscopy. However, over the past two decades, there has been a steady increase in therapeutic wrist procedures undertaken using the arthroscope. While diagnostic wrist arthroscopy is still a useful tool, its therapeutic advantages are starting to stack up against the risks of open wrist surgery – mainly stiffness. It remains a technically demanding procedure, but is clearly in the armamentarium of orthopedic hand and wrist surgeons. Recent advances of dry arthroscopy, arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation, and arthroscopic fusion procedures have changed the face of minimally invasive wrist surgery. The new NanoScope™ along with wide-awake, local anesthetic, and no tourniquet techniques, means that we now can dynamically assess and treat wrist pathology without even encountering the risk of anesthesia. Wrist surgery is evolving, and arthroscopy is right at the forefront.
