Chuck and Chris continue the initiative working with The Journal of Hand Surgery on a quarterly journal club.

In addition, we discuss a case of possible pronator syndrome together with carpal tunnel syndrome including debate on the role of nerve studies, physical examination, and ultrasound. 1) Rames JD, Emanuels AF, Tunaboylu MF, Moran SL.
