HERNANDEZ ESPINOSA, ORLANDO A.; SASTURAIN MIRANDA, MIGUEL E. y LABRADA BLANCO, OCTAVIO. Use of polydocanol in the conservative treatment of carpal ganglion. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 1997, vol.11, n.1-2, pp. 37-40. ISSN 1561-3100.
Aethoxisclerol has been mainly evaluated for its selective sclerosant action on the venous intima and therefore in the treatment of varices, but there was no clinical experience in the treatment of the carpal ganglion. The experience accumulated during 3 years with the use of aethoxisclerol in the conservative treatment of this affection is presented. 84 patients are evaluated according to their clinical evolution and it is shown the effectiveness of this drug on finding excellent results in 96.4 % of the cases.
