Arthroscopic Debridement Ganglion Cyst Treatment in India

Sai Shah, a 28-year-old software developer and avid rock climber, first noticed a small, firm bump on the back of his right wrist six months ago. Initially dismissing it, the cyst grew larger and began causing a dull, aching pain, especially during long coding sessions and when gripping climbing holds. His hobby became painful, and he worried about long-term damage to his wrist. After a physical exam and an MRI confirmed a dorsal wrist ganglion cyst causing mechanical irritation, his orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Chen, recommended arthroscopic debridement. She explained it as a minimally invasive 'clean-out' to remove the cyst and its stalk from the joint, with a faster recovery than open surgery. The outpatient procedure went smoothly. Sai was nervous but relieved to finally address the issue. Post-surgery, he wore a light splint for a week and started gentle mobility exercises. Within three weeks, the pain was gone, and he was back to coding comfortably. At six weeks, he tentatively returned to the climbing gym. Emotionally, Sai journeyed from frustration and anxiety about losing his passion to immense relief and optimism. Seeing his wrist flat and pain-free restored his confidence, and he felt grateful for a solution that allowed him to reclaim his active lifestyle.
