From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tinel's sign is a way to detect irritated nerves. It is performed by lightly tapping (percussing) over the nerve to elicit a sensation of tingling or "pins and needles" in the distribution of the nerve.

From the Exam

"Tinel's sign is negative at the bilateral wrists"

Can this count as a bullet as Examination of sensation (eg, by touch, pin, vibration, proprioception) in Neurolgoical section 97 guidelines?
