Yes. It can happen with alot of therapy and hard work.
Edit... I know someone who severed all of their nerves in their forarm and had almost complete recovery. It takes along time for the nerves to grow and reconnect but they do. It took this person almost two years to get any feeling in the hand but today they use the hand quite well.

There are many fine surgeons who specialize in this type of work. Many of the operations have great outcomes...a few do not. It can often take longer than a year for nerves to regenerate and sensation return to normal. Another factor, of course, is the type of damage, the severity and how quickly help was obtained for the injury!

Patience is the key. Nerves regenerate at the rate of 1 mm per day, so the length of your arm , from the injury repair to the finger tip in mm. Remember 25.4 mm = 1 inch
