Repair of the dorsal capsuloligamentous scapholunate septum during arthroscopic resection of painful dorsal wrist ganglion cyst: Comparative analysis of two techniques

A Modified Approach for Arthroscopic Excision of Dorsal Midcarpal Ganglion Cysts Using Radiocarpal Portals

“…A method of arthroscopic resection for midcarpal ganglion cysts proposed by Mathoulin et al 4 via radial midcarpal (MCR) portal and ulnar midcarpal portal is widely used. However, despite promising results from preliminary data, the method is not without limitation 5,6 . During the procedure, the limited visual field from the midcarpal portals presents a challenge in identifying and treating certain midcarpal dorsal ganglion cysts that exhibit minor synovial bulging lesions extending beyond the confines of the midcarpal joint, such as those cysts that involve the scapholunate (SL) ligament.…”
