ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the clinical features and treatment of ganglion cyst of the hallux. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
From August 1990 to December 2002, seven patients with a ganglion cyst of the hallux were treated. Six cases underwent surgical excision and one repeated aspiration.RESULTS:
Four cases showed recurrence after the initial surgical excision. Characteristics of the ganglion cyst of the hallux were; (1) mass accompanied by pain, (2) frequent recurrence after surgical excision, and (3) frequent communication with a joint. In one case of ganglion communicating with the interphalangeal joint, the joint of the involved hallux was finally fused due to repeated recurrence.CONCLUSION:
Ganglion cyst of the great toe needs to be evaluated by specialized study such as MRI for joint comminucation, and treated by meticulous surgical excision to prevent recurrence.
