Highlights

• There is a paucity of literature regarding the management of foot and ankle ganglia.
• Management options reported include excision, aspiration & steroid injection.
• Recurrence rates vary between 5.7–65.70%, with a pooled recurrence of 29.5%.
• Lower recurrence rates are seen following surgical excision.
• Research into an association between ganglion location and outcome is required.
