      stalk: minimum 1-year follow-up.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Dorsal wrist ganglia (DWG) are a common, benign soft-tissue mass of 
      the wrist. Excision of DWG is a common procedure performed by hand surgeons and 
      may be performed using either open or arthroscopic techniques. This study aims to 
      evaluate the frequency of stalk visualization with intralesional injection of 
      inert dye in the course of arthroscopic excision along with incidence of 
      recurrence with a minimum of 1-year follow-up. METHODS: Upon IRB approval, a 
      retrospective chart review was performed identifying 27 patients who had 
      consecutively undergone arthroscopic excision of a DWG with the color-aided 
      technique at our institution with a minimum follow-up duration of 12 months. 
      Intraoperative findings were reviewed. Patients were contacted to investigate for 
      incidence of recurrence. RESULTS: Of the 27-patient cohort, the ganglion stalk 
      was identified in 100 % of the color-aided arthroscopic DWG excisions. Ganglion 
      recurrence was identified in one patient, an incidence of 3.7 %. CONCLUSIONS: The 
      color-aided technique for arthroscopic DWG visualization was found to be a safe 
      and valuable tool for surgeons performing arthroscopic DWG resection. The 
      intraarticular ganglion stalk was identified in 100 % of cases and patients 
      responded well with a low incidence of recurrence.
