Study to examine the efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to reduce recurrence in dorsal wrist ganglia (DWG). We will compare aspiration alone and aspiration with injection of PRP. We plan to recruit a maximum of 200 patients. We will assess the efficacy by contacting the patients by email or telephone at 6 weeks and 12 months. They will be asked to complete a questionnaire and a Patient Evaluated Measure score (PEMS). Adverse events will be screened for/ managed by a telephone call +/- review as necessary between 7 and 14 days.
