What is recovery time from ulna nerve surgery?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
About 4-6 weeks: 4-6 weeks to fully recover from the elbow surgery, although the tingling etc might recover more slowly. Most recovery from tingling would be obtained in 6 months, although in some patients it can take upto 12 months or more. It entirely depends on the severity of the nerve problem to start with. Good luck!

Ulnar surgery: Basic wound healing in a month, but recovery of the nerve may take three to six months, or even longer.

Cubital tunnel sun: Outpatient surgery. Long arm splint typically for 7-14 days depending on your surgeon. Limit lifting to 5 lb and gauge activity based on swelling until 6 weeks post op. Usually favoring the arm somewhat for 8-10 weeks.
