This surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis. Complete recovery can take anywhere from several weeks to a year, depending on the severity of damage to the nerve.
A splint may be used to reduce wrist motion for the first few days after surgery, but motion should not be delayed for too long because the wrist can become stiff.
The longer the symptoms lasted before surgery and the more severely damaged the nerve appears at surgery, the longer the recovery time.
