This video in the Ortho for Primary Care series addresses the common term “Bible bump” used for ganglion cysts and explains why attempting to smash or self-treat these wrist bumps is unsafe and strongly discouraged. We review what ganglion cysts really are, how they form, and the risks of trying outdated or harmful treatment methods.

Designed for primary care doctors, medical students, and healthcare professionals, this educational content emphasizes proper diagnosis, safe treatment options, and when referral to an orthopedic hand specialist is appropriate. The goal is to provide clear and evidence-based guidance to ensure safe and effective care for patients presenting with wrist ganglion cysts.
