Carpal bone cysts: a clinical and radiographic study

O Eiken, K Jonsson

    Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Intracarpal bone cysts, often found in the scaphoid and lunate, may stem from vascular issues. Pain correlates with cysts showing marginal sclerosis, suggesting pressure buildup.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Intracarpal bone cysts are relatively uncommon wrist pathologies.
    • Understanding their clinical and radiographic features is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze and correlate the clinical and radiographic features of intracarpal bone cysts.
    • To investigate the potential etiology and pain mechanisms associated with these cysts.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 80 intracarpal bone cysts in 77 patients.
    • Correlation of clinical symptoms (pain) with radiographic findings (sclerosis, cyst characteristics).
    • Intraoperative findings regarding cyst composition were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Cysts exhibited slow development, progressing from trabecular fading to well-defined cavities with radiopaque borders.
    • Pain was consistently associated with cysts demonstrating marginal sclerosis.
    • Operated cysts revealed fibrous tissue with myxoid changes.
    • Most common locations were the scaphoid and lunate bones.
    • A plausible etiology involving intramedullary vascular disturbances, bone resorption, and fibroblastic proliferation was suggested.

    Conclusions:

    • Intracarpal bone cysts, particularly in the scaphoid and lunate, may arise from vascular compromise.
    • Marginal sclerosis on radiographs indicates pain, likely due to increased intracystic pressure.
    • The findings support a vascular-induced pathogenesis for these wrist cysts.
