Purpose: To evaluate the results of arthroscopic resection of volar ganglion of the wrist.
Methods: Nine patients who had arthroscopic resection of volar ganglion of wrist were evaluated. Using 3-4 poral as a viewing portal, volar ganglion was debrided through the radioscaphocapitate (RSC) ligament and long radiolunate (LRL) ligament using a resector inserted from the 1-2 or 4-5 portal. We evaluated the incidence of relapse, the time to postoperative disappearance of pain, surgical complications, and intra-articular derangements
Results:
Eight patients had synovitis around radial styloid process. Three patients had capsular tear between RSC ligament and LRL ligament. There was no relapse at an average follow-up of 15 months. The pain felt during daily activities subsided at 2.5 months after operation in 9 patients. One patient had partial injury of the median nerve causing persistent paresthesia. All were satisfied for the postoperative scars.
Conclusion: Arthroscopic resection is a reliable option with good cosmetic results for the treatment of volar ganglion of the wrist.
