A 28-year-old male patient arrives at the clinic after a motorbike accident in which he sustained a deep laceration to his lateral forearm. On examination, he has lost the ability to feel fine touch and temperature sensations in part of his thumb, index, and lateral portion of the palm. He also complains of weakened grip strength. The physician suspects injury to a specific nerve and orders electromyography and nerve conduction studies. Further examination reveals that the nerve affected also provides motor innervation to some forearm flexors and muscles of the thenar eminence. Based on the location of the injury and the symptoms presented, the physician provides a diagnosis and begins treatment focused on nerve regeneration and occupational therapy. Question: Which of the following nerves is MOST likely injured in this patient?
