Abstract
Intraosseous ganglion (IOG) cysts in the lunate can be decompressed using open and arthroscopic approaches. A direct “cystoscopic” approach to the IOG is minimally invasive and provides excellent visualization of the cyst from within. Direct visualization access is obtained via a 3 mm cortical tunnel in the lunate, and ensures complete intracystic excision of lining and contents. Bone grafting of a large cyst may be performed using the same approach if necessary.
