The reason for this thread is:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Abstract

"In idiopathic neuropathy, the presence of a positive Tinel sign had a sensitivity of 95%, a specificity of 56%, and a positive predictive value of 93% in identifying patients who would have a good/excellent outcome."
Is the main thing.
