possible cut in 2 places as V shaped laceration- ......whats recovery time for numbness and innervation regrowth

Answer 1

If the nerve and sheath were completely severed, it won't grow back. However, if it was a partial cut or the sheath is still in place, the nerve will grow back about 1mm/week. It grows faster in the summer and faster if it's your dominant hand.
