August 30, 2013A ganglion is a soft tissue herniation, usually in a tendon sheath or joint capsule in which the soft tissues form a mass outside the tendon or joint. The enlargement is usually full of synovial fluid. Ancient myth is that you can hit the ganglion with a big book, traditionally a Bible then the enlargement can be forced back into the tendon sheath or joint capsule. It does not work very well and more conventional methods of treatment are usually needed.
