If the damage is purely to a peripheral nerve and the central nervous system connections are intact, the rate of peripheral nerve growth is 1 mm/day. This assumes that the original problem has been corrected.

Months. Depending on how far the injury was from your fingertips. To go from one to the other takes months.
