For me, the main question would be whether he built the character with one leg (ie, he got points for taking Lame) or he lost his leg, along the way (ie, Lame was added, but no points gained).

If he lost his leg, then Regrowth would just remove the Lame Disadvantage, while fixing him up. If he had been built that way, then I believe the Rules would imply the PC needing to pay back the points gained from Lame, before he could regrow.

I don't think I'd charge someone points for regrowing their leg, anyway, if it came much later on. Definitely not, if the regrowth came as a consequence of adventuring. (it never sat right with me, to charge people for lucky occurances, nor to penalize them because they don't have the spare points available to "buy" the thing they found/encountered). If he chose to acquire that new Advantage, however that occurs, I'd require him to buy off the Disadvantage, too.
