Abstract
In this series of 104 anterior wrist ganglia evaluated, 35 were found to arise from the scaphotrapezial joint, 1 from the metacarpotrapezial joint, and 68 from the radioscaphoid joint. After dissection of the cyst and identification of the joint of origin, the ganglion was removed and the joint was incised. Of the patients with scaphotrapezial ganglia, 29 were available for follow-up evaluation with a mean follow-up time of 67 months. Relief of symptoms was noted in 93%, wrist motion was maintained in all patients, and there were two recurrences.
