[Intraosseous ganglion in the area of the wrist]

Abstract

In the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions in bones, the intraosseous ganglion must be included. These tumor-like lesion is rare in the carpus, but often the cause of therapy-resistant pain. Four patients with intraosseous ganglion in the carpus are presented. This bone disease is treated by curettage and bone grafting. Postoperative prognosis is good.
