The Tinel sign, commonly known, is actually the Hoffmann-Tinel sign. This article clarifies its history by translating Hoffmann's 1915 papers and including his biography.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Medical History

Background:

  • The Tinel sign is a clinical diagnostic test for nerve irritation.
  • Its attribution to Tinel is widely accepted in medical literature.

Discussion:

  • This article presents evidence that the Tinel sign should be recognized as the Hoffmann-Tinel sign.
  • It includes translations of Paul Hoffmann's original 1915 papers, contemporaneous with Tinel's publication.

Key Insights:

  • Paul Hoffmann described the sign in 1915, the same year as Jules Tinel.
  • Historical review suggests Hoffmann's contribution was overlooked or misattributed.

Outlook:

  • Revisiting the historical attribution of the Hoffmann-Tinel sign can enhance understanding of nerve examination techniques.
