Core Tip	Carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger digit are orthopedic hand conditions that often present concurrently. Markedly, the association between surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger digit is not clear. This retrospective analysis evaluated numerous risk factors, including surgical approach, for new onset trigger digit following carpal tunnel release (CTR). We reveal that patient comorbidities do not influence the rate of trigger digit development following CTR; however, there may be a significant interaction effect between gender and surgical approach on postoperative trigger digit development. Females may be more likely to develop trigger digit following open carpal tunnel release. In contrast, males may be more likely to develop trigger digit following endoscopic carpal tunnel release.
