Surgery is an option, but it has mixed results within the literature and is usually avoided because only about half of people who undergo surgery see any positive results from it.[1] Some suggest that surgical exploration should be considered if no recovery occurs after 3 to 6 months.[2] Some surgical options include nerve grafting, neurolysis, or nerve reconstruction.[12] Surgery results are typically better for younger patients (under 25) and for nerve grafts less than six centimeters.[13]
