Abstract
Intraosseous lunate bone ganglia (ILBG) are known to be a cause of chronic wrist pain and disability, most often after collapse of a ganglion wall in the scapholunate joint. Standard treatment consists of curettage and autologous bone grafting. Open procedures have shown good results with few recurrences, but with frequent stiffness or persistent pain. Arthroscopic techniques are more recent and have begun to prove themselves very reliable, with studies reporting satisfactory functional and radiological results after arthroscopic bone grafting for intraosseous lunate bone ganglia.
