What Is The Interpretation Of The Evaluation?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You shouldn't worry.
Your husband has normal reports.There is no nerve damage.
Tinel's sign is negative in his case.This test detects irritated nerves.
There is small lipoma in the same area.It is a benign condition and usually doesn't require any treatment.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
