Of the 50 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 41 patients were followed-up for a mean of 7.21\u2009years postoperatively. Among these 41 wrists, 20 underwent tendoscopic release (group A), and 21 underwent open release (group B). The clinical evaluations were performed preoperatively, 1\u2009month postoperatively and at last follow-up visit, using visual analog scale (VAS); the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Outcome score; and the Finkelstein\u2019s test. The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) was used as an esthetic evaluation tool of the scar at last follow-up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>No significant baseline differences were found between two groups. The average time return to work in group A was less than in group B (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u20090.05), The mean VAS and DASH scores improved significantly in both groups at 1\u2009month and last follow-up visit (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u20090.001). At 1\u2009month, the scores in group A were significantly better than in group B (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u20090.05 and<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u20090.001, respectively). There was no difference between groups at last follow-up. In addition, the improvement of the mean DASH score was significantly greater in group A than in group B (34.74\u2009\u00b1\u200910.99 in group A and 23.58\u2009\u00b1\u200912.01 in group B,<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u20090.01) at 1\u2009month. For POSAS scale, both the OSAS and PSAS scores were significantly better in group A.
