Wrist arthroscopy could be a treatment option for dorsal ganglion cysts. To achieve a thorough dorsal capsulectomy for the removal of midcarpal ganglion cysts, it is commonly necessary to combine both the radiocarpal and midcarpal portals. We present a modified method using radiocarpal portals only for arthroscopically excising dorsal midcarpal ganglion cysts. No extra midcarpal portals are necessary, and the method potentially generates satisfactory results.
