Key Points

This study aims to compare the long-term outcomes of open and percutaneous release techniques specifically in diabetic patients with trigger finger.
Retrospective study involving 62 patients, with 32 undergoing open release and 30 percutaneous release.
Evaluated preoperative data, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, and recurrence rates at multiple postoperative follow-ups.
Used the Quinnell grading scale for clinical evaluation at 1 year post-surgery.
Recurrent triggering rate was significantly higher in the Percutaneous group at both 6 months (P=0.049) and 12 months (P=0.049).
Average return to work duration was significantly shorter for the Percutaneous group (1.70±0.75 weeks) compared to the Open group (3.88±1.21 weeks).
No significant differences in VAS scores and Quinnell grading system scores between the groups (P=0.974 and P=0.279, respectively).
