| Abstrakt: | We describe the case of a sculptor who developed superficial radial neuropathy (SRN) due to blunt trauma from striking a chisel for 30 years. The lesion was localized by the anatomical topography of the superficial radial nerve, a " hot " Tinel sign, and the graphic demonstration of reduced superficial radial sensory amplitude on a nerve conduction study (NCS). Our patient also responded to a strategically placed peripheral nerve block. We go further in this article and adumbrate on the underlying pathophysiology of the very Tinel sign we are so accustomed to, a clinical sign that is frequently deployed to diagnose a variety of peripheral nerve entrapments. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. (Copyright © 2020, Kesserwani et al.) |
