This radiograph shows a distal lateral condyle cyst. In this radiograph, we see a small communication with the articular surface. Screw placement across the cyst is a very good option as the treatment for this problem. Some trainers chose not to do anything until it causes a problem. I dont recommend this approach as is too conservative and the screw technique is very effectice.
