Endoscopic Ganglionectomy of the Extensor Digitorum Longus Tendon: An Extraganglionic Approach

ABSTRACT: Ganglion is the most common soft tissue mass in the foot and can be painful and affect comfort wearing shoes. The usual treatment of a ganglion is conservative: careful neglect, manual rupture, or aspiration. When the lesion is recurrent or painful, surgical excision is recommended. The pu...

description ABSTRACT: Ganglion is the most common soft tissue mass in the foot and can be painful and affect comfort wearing shoes. The usual treatment of a ganglion is conservative: careful neglect, manual rupture, or aspiration. When the lesion is recurrent or painful, surgical excision is recommended. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the extraganglionic approach of endoscopic ganglionectomy of the extensor digitorum longus tendon. This surgery has the advantage of being minimally invasive and having better cosmetic result, with less surgical trauma to the soft tissue. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 1: foot and ankle; Level 2: other (ganglion).
