∙ 13y ago
That would depend on the extent of the damage, I had a complete elbow replacement done which included an ulnar nerve decompression. According to the surgeons that worked on me, I would experience tingling and some numbness on the little finger up one side of the ring finger and on the hand over those two fingers for about 18 months however after 6 months everything seems to have settled down nicely.

Which cranial nerve is damaged due to a medial strabismus injury?
Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.

Can a nerve Cell replace itself after injury?
One of two thing can happen (depending on just how damaged). If it is a sensory nerve, that will not carry sensory impulses to the CNS. You may have a numb feeling in a small area or a very large area. If it is a motor nerve, you may not be able to move a muscle (or a group of muscles). That really is paralyzed means.
Dos a nerve damaged in surgery repair itself in due course?
The nerve fibres are covered by endoneurium. For a nerve fibre to repair this endoneural layer needs to be present. There are two types of nerve fibres--myelinated and non-myelinated. The myelinated nervefibres are covered by myelin sheath made of schwann cells. These schwann cells have the capacity to secrete substances which repair the nerve fibre. But, the non-myelinated ones don't have a full layer of schwann cells around them. So, they generally don't repair easily once being damaged. However, in any case, endoneurium should be present for a nerve fibre to repair. In damage of nerve fibre during surgery if the nerve is cut, it means the endoneurium is also cut(damaged) at that site. So, usually that nerve can not repair on its own.
