Question 1

can a car accident jamming your toe cause a ganglion cyst and bone spur?

Accepted Answer

Ganglion cyst: The cause of ganglion cysts is not known. One theory suggests that trauma causes the tissue of the joint to break down forming small cysts, which then join into a larger, more obvious mass. The most likely theory involves a flaw in the joint capsule or tendon covering (sheath) that allows the joint tissue to bulge out.

Question 2

i am having surgery to repair my dislocated big toe and removing bone cysts. would one of those color casts be used after a surgery like that.

Accepted Answer

Sure: I would get a colored cast that matches my outfit or shoes at least.

Question 3

i had a steroid injection for a dislocated big toe &2 large bone cysts. it's been two days & my toe has a very hot sensation.  is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Hot sensation: The hot sensation is due the effects of the steroidinjection.

Question 4

why do i have to get cleared for my big toe dislocation bone cyst repair surgery. i never had to for my 2 cardiac ablations and general was used.

Accepted Answer

Clearance: Cardiac clearance for a cardiology procedure to be performed by a cardiologist is assumed. The same clearance for a procedure sans cardiologist is not assumed in general.

Question 5

i've got a weird pain in my foot? could it be bone cyst?

Accepted Answer

# of things: It could be any of a number of things.  Your doctor should see you and do a history physical, possibly run some tests, then let you know what's going on.

Question 6

my surgeon had to remove a fx fragment from foot, re attach ligament, and clean out cysts in bone. accidentally weight beared when fell. did i ruin it?

Accepted Answer

Imaging: Hi, 
If pain persists or you are concerned about tendon rupture, an ultrasound might be able to tell tendon healing vs changes

Question 7

is it a ganglion cyst on my foot or a bone spur ? could it potentially be something else? i have a lump on top of my foot, right in the middle. it showed up about a month ago, initially felt soft now feels bone like and causing nerve painup right leg

Accepted Answer

Ganglion cyst: Usually a cyst will start soft then harden as it gets bigger. You need an X-ray and ultrasound to confirm it’s not a fracture fragment, tumor or bone spur but it sounds like a ganglion

Question 8

cyst like on top my left foot and diagnosed of protruding bone called ganglion exostosis. foot doctor said i need a surgery. is this true?

Accepted Answer

We all need somthing: Sounds like you have an exostosis, which is nothing more than an outgrowth of bone, and a ganglion cyst. If the condition is causing pain, numbness or a problem with the functioning of your foot, then surgery is probably called for. If, however, you have a lump and no symptoms associated with it, then, you have the opportunity of holding off on the surgery for what I call a "wait see".

Question 9

would a cyst growing in a foot bone post fracture in a 22 yr old be unicameral or aneurysmal? mri didn't specify just said cystic change

Accepted Answer

Bone cyst: Both require surgical intervention. Pathology can decide the final diagnosis and the procedure is the same.

Question 10

cystic bone lesion in ankle. ankle and foot hurt. i had foot surgery in the summer. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Benign or malignant: You may need a biopsy to determine if it is benign or malignant. Have it evaluated and appropriately treated.
