Does a difference in patient satisfaction and cosmetic outcome exist between wound closure with absorbable or non-absorbable sutures.
The study will involve randomizing patients to wound closure with absorbable or non-absorbable sutures. We will if scar formation (symptoms and aesthetics) if different between the two types of closures as determined by the patient and observer scar assessment scale version 2.0 (POSAS) and the patient-rated wrist/hand evaluation (PRWHE), between absorbable and non-absorbable suture for wound closure of open carpal tunnel release and trigger finger pulley release.

Scar formation with the Patient and Observer Scare Assessment Scale
Blinded scar assessment utilizing the patient and observer scar assessment scale version 2.0 (POSAS). The POSAS is scored from the perspective of the patient and a blinded observer independently. Scores range from 1 to 10 with 1 indicating normal skin and 10 indicating the worst scar imaginable. The 1 to 10 scoring is performed in 6 domains of various scar characteristics to obtain a total score ranging from 10 to 60. Additionally, there is an overall scar appearance score that ranges from 1 to 10 with 1 indicating normal skin and 10 indicating the worst scar imaginable.
