Can a wrist ganglionic cyst rupture?

yes: Ganglion cysts can vary in size as the cyst fluid shifts between the joint space and the cyst sac. However, the sac can also rupture as well.

Rip,aspirate,excise: Ganglions are thin walled cysts and can rupture, scar and become multiloculated. They can be aspirated to deflate them or excised surgically. See a hand surgeon.
