Hand surgery: what is the most effective way to rid my index finger knuckle of a ganglion cyst besides draining or excision? is radio frequency used?

Treatments: for ganglion cysts can be conservative and surgical. Radio frequency can be used as well as natural methods and medications. Many patients will have their cysts dissolve without ever needing surgical intervention. Best wishes!
