- Abstract
Purpose: To study the efficacy of arthroscopic ganglionectomy in the management of ganglia of the foot and ankle. Methods: From 2006 to 2010, arthroscopic ganglionectomy was performed for 89 ganglia in the foot and ankle of 88 patients. Clinical and intra-operative details were reviewed retrospectively. Result: Ganglion stalk was identified in 6 % of the cases. The overall rate of presence of pathology was 26 %. The overall rate of recurrence or residual lesion was 12 % with high recurrent rate for extensor tendon ganglia and toe pulp ganglia. Conclusions: Arthroscopic ganglionectomy of the foot and ankle ganglion by either internal drainage or complete resection is a feasible approach. Good results can be achieved in case of adequate internal drainage of the ganglion to the joints or fibrous tendon sheath. Level of evidence: Therapeutic, Level IV.
