Predictors of recurrence after open excision of wrist ganglion cysts: an MRI-based and clinical analysis
MRI-based evaluation of cyst-to-joint distance and consideration of dominant-hand involvement may help identify patients at increased risk of recurrence after surgical excision of wrist GCs. Incorporating these factors into preoperative planning may optimize surgical strategy, guide follow-up, and improve patient counseling.
