description INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study is to compare the results of the open surgical procedure used in the treatment of the trigger finger surgeon and the percutaneous relaxation and to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each technique. METHODS: 55 patients (36 females, 19 males, mean age 54 years range: 19-77 years) were included in the study. 31 patients underwent percutaneous release and 24 patients underwent open surgery. Clinical, Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QDASH) scoring results and work start-up times were compared at 1 week, 1 month and 6 months after surgery. RESULTS: Recurrence was observed in 1 patient who underwent percutaneous release. Three of our patients who underwent open surgery had a long lasting pain due to the wound scar. A superficial infection developed in a patient. İn terms of time to return to work and cost, percutaneous release has yielded better results. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Percutaneous release is prefable method compared to open release in term of effective, easy release, low risk of complication and low cost.
