The patients were divided into two groups the first group (24 digits) patients who received local steroid injection and the second group (22digits) patients who had open surgical release. Results: (55.5%) of digits were treated with CS injection had complete pain relief compared with (92.9%) of digits were treated with open surgical release. (37.5%) of digits were treated with CS injection had good recovery after one single injection compared with (91%) of digits were treated with open surgical release. The complication rate was (4.1%) in group of CS injection and (9%) in group of surgical release. Conclusion: Local CS injection has lower efficacy than surgical release in management of trigger finger. The open surgical release is a safe and effective procedure in management of trigger finger.
