Outcomes After Dorsal Wrist Ganglia Excision With or Without PIN
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Wrist Ganglion, Ganglion Cysts, Hand Ganglion, Denervation Atrophy
In brief
The purpose of this study is to determine if a statistical significance exists between outcomes of patients treated for dorsal wrist ganglion cyst with excision alone versus excision and the addition of a partial wrist denervation by resecting the common terminal sensory branch of the PIN (posterior interosseus nerve). Our hypothesis is that addition of PIN improves outcome after dorsal wrist ganglion excision as indicated by post-operative pain, function, ability to perform activities of daily living, and physical exam findings.
