Abstract
As synovial fluid from the wrist may leak into the ulnar bursa and from there into the flexor synovial sheath in the little finger, the origin of a synovial cyst of the pulp of the little finger may be in the wrist. Here we present the surgical treatment of a patient with a synovial cyst of the pulp of the little finger by surgery of the wrist and palm of the hand after failed conservative treatment.
