“…These techniques have variable and sometimes high recurrence rates (Nelson et al, 1972; Rizzo and Beckenbaugh, 2003). Repeated aspirations or ruptures may increase the risk of infection seeding into the DIPJ and subsequent septic arthritis of the joint (Rangarathnam and Linscheid, 1984).…”

There is no clear consensus about the best operative technique for the treatment of digital mucous cysts. We carried out a retrospective review of all patients who underwent excision of a digital mucous cyst using a local advancement skin flap over a 10-year period. A total of 69 patients were included and were reviewed at an average of 38 months (minimum 6 months) post-operatively. No patients were lost to follow-up. There was only one case of cyst recurrence. Of these 67 patients were happy with the scar and 63 patients said they would have the procedure again; 36 patients had a pre-operative nail deformity and 21 reported that the deformity grew out after the procedure.

“…Im Unterschied zur Infektion des Handgelenks stehen bei der Ätiolo-gie der septischen Fingergelenkinfektionen endogene Risikofaktoren wie Diabetes, Drogenabhängigkeit oder Immundefizienz im Hintergrund. Vielmehr entstehen sie infolge penetrierender Verletzungen, wie Stich-, Schnitt-und Kratzwunden, Bissverletzungen, Dornenstichen, der Punktion oder Perforation von Epithelzysten [7,15,16,23] oder durch Infektionsausbreitung aus der Umgebung.…”

In 10 of 40 patients, the infected joint could be preserved. All infections healed. After an average duration of therapy of 6 (3-11) weeks, 4 individuals were free of complaints, and 6 patients had minor symptoms. Overall range of motion in the affected finger was reduced by 25-50° in 5 patients. All patients could return to work after 6.6 (4-11) weeks. A total of 30 patients were treated with joint resection and external fixator. After 5.6 (4-8) weeks, arthrodesis was performed, leading to consolidation in 29 patients. One patient underwent amputation after 4 months due to delayed gangrene. Treatment duration was 15.7 (7-25) weeks. Eight patients reported no complaints, 14 suffered mild symptoms, 5 had moderate, and 3 had severe symptoms in daily life. In 15 cases, range of motion was diminished by 10-80° in the remaining joints of the affected finger. Patients could return to work after 16.2 (6-28) weeks.

“…15,25 They occasionally become ulcerated because the skin overlying the cyst is usually thin, and the resulting discharge may be troublesome. 16,43 Only 2% of ganglion cysts occur in the toes, and most of these occur in the lesser toes. 36 However, they less commonly present over the interphalangeal (IP) joint of the first toe.…”

A 77-year-old woman presented with a mucous cyst on the lateral aspect of the interphalangeal joint of the first toe caused by contact pressure with the second toe from hallux valgus. She complained of discomfort and discharge from the left first toe for approximately 4 months. Physical examination showed the second toe pressing strongly against the first toe due to hallux valgus and discharge from the skin on the lateral aspect of the interphalangeal joint of the first toe. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a cystic lesion at the same level. The patient underwent a modified scarf osteotomy of the first metatarsal for hallux valgus to resolve the contact pressure between the toes-considered the cause of the mucous cyst-and resection of mucous cyst. Forefoot weight bearing was allowed 6 weeks after surgery. As of 1 year after surgery, she has had no recurrence of the cyst. The score on the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal scale improved from 59/100 points to 92/100. This outcome suggests that hallux valgus correction should be considered when a mucous cyst is associated with contact pressure due to a hallux valgus deformity. To the best of our knowledge, there are no previous reports of a mucous cyst caused by contact pressure between the first toe and second toe due to hallux valgus.
