Morbidity of hand and wrist Ganglia.

Tomlinson PJ, Field J.

Cheltenham General Hospital, Cheltenham, GL53 7AN, UK.

Pain and disability caused by ganglia of the hand and wrist were assessed using a patient-rated wrist evaluation questionnaire in 75 patients. Dorsal wrist ganglia were the most painful and disabling. However, the majority of ganglia cause little pain or disability. Consequently, referral by General Practitioners should be confined to those with pain, disability or failure of conservative management.
