Arthroscopic Decompression of Intraosseous Cysts of the Lunate

Deepak N. Bhatia, Gregory I. Bain

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

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.
