Complications following ganglion cyst excision include a 3%-50% recurrence rate, wrist stiffness, infection, neuroma formation, and keloid formation. Scapholunate instability is almost never seen as a complication of ganglion excision. Scapholunate instability occurred following excision of a dorsal ganglion in the wrist of a 38-year-old man.
