Outcomes After Dorsal Wrist Ganglia Excision With or Without PIN

NCT04932122 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 3

Last updated 2026-02-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Wrist Ganglion
  • Ganglion Cysts
  • Hand Ganglion
  • Denervation Atrophy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Dorsal wrist ganglion alone (DWG)

Patients assigned to this arm will undergo dorsal wrist ganglion cyst excision alone.

PROCEDURE

DWG/PIN

Patients assigned to this arm will undergo dorsal wrist ganglion excision and the addition of a partial wrist denervation by resecting the common terminal sensory branch of the posterior interosseus nerve (PIN)..
