Area of Science:

  • Hand surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Digital mucous cysts are benign synovial fluid collections.
  • They commonly occur with arthritic degeneration of the distal interphalangeal joints (DIPJs).
  • Treatment options vary, lacking a consensus on the optimal approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel surgical technique for digital mucous cysts.
  • To demonstrate a reproducible and adaptable method for addressing cyst pedicles and osteophytes.
  • To highlight outcomes preserving overlying skin, even when compromised.

Main Methods:

  • A detailed surgical approach is presented.
  • The technique focuses on accessing the cyst pedicle and underlying osteophyte.
  • Emphasis is placed on preserving the integrity of the overlying skin.

Main Results:

  • The presented surgical technique yields good outcomes.
  • It is effective even with compromised or involved dermis and epidermis.
  • The method is reproducible and readily adaptable.

Conclusions:

  • A reproducible surgical technique for digital mucous cysts is described.
  • This approach effectively treats the cyst pedicle and associated osteophytes.
  • Skin preservation is achieved, leading to favorable patient outcomes.
