yes, but it takes a while...
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.
Neurorrhaphy.
Trauma to the radial nerve of the brachial plexus can cause wrist drop. This nerve controls the muscles responsible for wrist extension. Damage to the radial nerve can lead to weakness or paralysis of these muscles, resulting in the inability to lift the wrist and extend the hand.
Schwann cells play a crucial role in repairing damaged nerves by forming a tube-like structure that guides the regrowth of nerve fibers. They also produce growth factors and provide structural support for the regenerating nerve fibers. Additionally, Schwann cells help to remyelinate the nerve fibers, restoring their ability to conduct electrical impulses.
The nerve located on the top of the hand, known as the radial nerve, is responsible for providing sensation and controlling movement in the back of the hand, thumb, and fingers.
Posterior interosseus nerve, one of the two terminal branches of Radial and the Radial itself (it supply only one muscle)
- Wrist drop occurs when the radial nerve becomes compressed or damaged.
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.
radial nerve !
If the myelin sheath is able to repair and regenerate itself, normal nerve function may return. However, if the sheath is severely damaged, the underlying nerve fiber can die.Because nerve fibers in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) rarely regenerate, such damage is irreversible.

radial nerve
Nervous tissue in the brain and spinal cord typically does not repair itself. Once damaged, nerve cells in these areas have limited ability to regenerate, which is why injuries or diseases affecting these tissues can have long-lasting effects.

The radial artery
Radial Artery
The supinator muscle is primarily innervated by the radial nerve, specifically the deep branch of the radial nerve. This nerve provides the necessary motor function to facilitate the supination of the forearm. Additionally, the radial nerve branches may also receive contributions from the posterior interosseous nerve, which is a continuation of the deep branch.
