Yes, severed nerves in finger tips can be surgically repaired by sewing the nerve endings back together, a procedure known as nerve repair. The success of the surgery depends on various factors, such as the extent of the injury and the timing of the repair. Physical therapy may also be needed to aid in the recovery of nerve function.

Your finger get pricked which nerve is affected?

If your finger gets pricked, the nerves primarily affected are the digital branches of the median and ulnar nerves, depending on the location of the prick. These nerves are responsible for sensation in the fingers. Damage to these nerves can lead to numbness, tingling, or pain in the affected area. Additionally, the radial nerve may also play a role if the prick affects the back of the hand.


How long will a severed finger last?

The bone just regenerates, don't worry. The skin may take up to a week to grow back, though. At least that's how it's always worked with me


What is the treatment of a Avulsion fracture at the base of fifth finger?

This is a medical procedure. The phlange has to be realigned, the muscle and connective tissue has to be reconnected, the blood vessels have to be stitched back together and the nerves are pretty much on their own. Loss of mobility, sensation and natural appearance is to be expected.


Could someone be paralyzed by being stabbed?

Yes. Both sensation and motion are controlled by nerves. If the nerves used to control sensation/motion are severed, the part of the body that was controlled by those nerves will no longer sense/move. Damaging the nerve can also lead to this, but is more likely to heal. In the peripheral nervous system, nerves can grow back, but they have to be redeveloped and this is not always possible (you weren't born with the motor control to write and may never get it back in a hand with damaged nerves). Your brain is made up of nerves, which then project down your spine, and from your spine branch out into the rest of your body. When a nerve is severed, the portion that is no longer connected to the spine/brain no longer works - resulting in paralysis. This means that a body part would only be paralyzed distal (down/out, further from the center) to the stab wound. If a nerve is simply damaged, then the problem lay in its ability to pass on a message.


What are nerves that interweave together referred as?

Nerves that interweave together are referred to as nerve plexus. They are a network of intersecting nerves that supply a specific region of the body, helping to distribute sensory and motor information efficiently. Examples include the brachial plexus in the arm and the lumbosacral plexus in the lower back and legs.

Pain in hands and tingling of fourth and fifth finger what could cause this i am 22 and it comes and goes?

I was in physical therapy for lower back issues and at one point I started having tingling in my 4th and 5th finger and pain shooting down my arms. The PT told me that those nerves are connected to nerves in the shoulder that can be pinched if your shoulder roll forward (aka if you slouch). I don't slouch but my shoulders roll forward and can pinch the nerves. what he told me to do was to lie down on a bed on your back (thinner the better) and spread out your arms like superman then let them fall towards the floor. This opens up the shoulder joint and lets the nerves "breathe". Another exercise is to hold your arms at 90 degrees at your side (like you are doing bicep curls) and push your elbows back like you are trying to touch them behind your back. This strengthens the back muscles that hold your shoulders back. I do this move when i get the tingling and it helps it go away.
