Transarticular arthroscopic excision of an elbow cyst.
We present the case of a symptomatic anterior elbow cyst supposedly due to repeated (exertional) trauma. Instead of the usual open excision, arthroscopic excision was performed using a Wissinger rod through an additional anterolateral portal for distraction. Histopathology confirmed the lesion to be a ganglion. MRI 12 months postoperatively showed no recurrence.
