A 44-year-old male factory worker presents with a 7-month history of pain and paresthesias involving the palmar aspect of the left thumb, index finger, long finger, and the radial half of the ring finger. He reports that this often occurs at night when trying to go to sleep. He has a history of anemia and obstructive sleep apnea. Percussion over the volar wrist crease produces electric sensation distally in the hand and wrist flexion with the elbow in extension produces thumb paresthesias within 18 seconds. Figure A demonstrates a radiograph of the left hand. A sensory nerve conduction velocity test shows a distal sensory latency of 5.7 ms. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?

A 58-year-old man underwent distal radius ORIF with a volar locking plate yesterday. Preoperatively, he reported some mild sensory disturbances in the volar thumb and index finger, but had 2-point discrimination of 6mm in each finger. Now, he complains of worsening hand pain and sensory disturbances in his volar thumb and index finger. Two-point discrimination is now >10mm in these fingers. Radiographs show a well-fixed fracture in good alignment. What is the most appropriate treatment at this time?

A 55-year-old male laborer comes in with a chief complaint of clumsiness with his right hand for the past 3 months including difficulty using a hammer while at work. He has had no injury to the right upper extremity. On physical examination, he has persistent small finger abduction/extension with finger extension and active adduction. An EMG is performed and demonstrates ulnar nerve conduction velocities of 31 m/sec (normal >52m/sec). The patient symptoms are most accurately described as:

A 35-year-old female office worker reports 6 months of deep aching pain that is worse at night on her lateral dominant elbow. The pain also worsens with repetitive movements. On physical exam, the patient has tenderness located 4cm distal to the lateral epicondyle over the mobile wad, and she has subtle weakness of the wrist extensors. Extending her long finger against resistance with a flexed wrist is very painful for her. She also complains of her pain worsening at night. What is the most likely diagnosis?
