Yes: There are likely predisposing factors leading to the cystic changes that possibly need to be addressed. Ruling out keinbock's disease (lack of blood supply to the lunate) is the most important. Identifying if your radius and ulna are at equal levels in the wrist is also important. The lunate cyst is not causing the problem. The reason you're developing the lunate cyst is the problem.
