Abstract:
The standard treatment for mucous cysts with Heberden nodes is excision of the dorsolateral osteophytes and capsule of the distal interphalangeal joint or thumb interphalangeal joint, including the stalk of the cyst. The skin incision varies for cases depending upon the geometry. We propose a surgical method utilizing blind lateral approaches for treating such mucous cysts.
