Drainage of Articular Ganglia Around the Ankle
Chapter
Abstract
Ganglion cysts are the most common benign soft-tissue lesions of the ankle. They predominantly occur in young adults. In 60–70 % of cases, the ganglion cyst originates from the subtalar joint and communicates with the synovial joint via a pedicle. In 20 % of the cases, ganglia are found on the anterior aspect of the ankle, arising from the tibiotalar joint or from the talonavicular joint.
