Overview

Retrospective cohort study compares recurrence and functional outcomes of excision methods, suggesting implications for surgical choices.

Key Points

  • This study aims to compare the recurrence rates and functional outcomes of arthroscopic versus open excision of dorsal wrist ganglia.
  • Retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent ganglion excision from 2017 to 2022.
  • Utilized standardized clinical assessments and ultrasound follow-up for analysis of outcomes.
  • Functional outcomes were measured using DASH, PRWE, and Mayo Wrist Scores.
  • Open surgery group had a recurrence rate of 89% versus 30% in the arthroscopic group (p=0.0198).
  • Patients who underwent open excision had 15.4-fold higher odds of ultrasound-detected subclinical recurrence.
  • Functional scores (DASH, PRWE, Mayo Wrist) showed no significant differences between the two surgical techniques.
