What kind of ganglion cyst

summary

Tendon sheath cyst mainly occurs in the tendon sheath of the joint. In short, there are cystic masses, which usually occur in the back of the wrist and the back of the foot. Let's take a look at the ganglion cyst.

What kind of ganglion cyst

First of all, tendon sheath cyst (thecal cysts) is a cystic mass in the tendon sheath of the joint, which is caused by the degeneration of the connective tissue in the joint capsule, ligament and tendon sheath. The cysts contained colorless, transparent or orange, yellowish thick mucus. The wall of the cysts was dense, hard and tough fibrous connective tissue. Most of them are at the back of wrist and foot. Most of the patients were young adults and most of them were women. The onset of the disease is slow, a round mass can be seen at the site of the disease, with slight pain, which can cause certain dysfunction to the patients when it is serious.

Secondly: the etiology of ganglion cyst is not very clear, it is generally believed that it is related to the trauma. It can be caused by injury, excessive strain (especially in hands and fingers), osteoarthritis, some systemic immune diseases, and even infection. Some occupations requiring long-term repetitive joint activities, such as typists, cargo handling or industries requiring long-term computer operation, can cause or aggravate the disease. The common affected areas are wrists, fingers, shoulders and so on. Women and diabetic patients are more likely to suffer from this disease.

Finally: Although the recurrence rate of conservative treatment of ganglion cyst is high, but this kind of method is minimal trauma, easy to be accepted by patients, it can be used as the preferred trial method in clinic. The ganglion cyst can be ruptured by extrusion and gradually absorbed by itself, but it may recur after treatment. If the joint cavity is not easy to rupture, puncture can be used to extract the capsular fluid, and then press and knead, or the capsular fluid can be extracted and injected with adrenocortical hormone or hyaluronidase, and local pressure bandage for 2 days, which has a certain curative effect.
