Watsonian answer :

Does the regeneration/regrowth work from a template (your DNA ?) or from your "mental picture" of yourself or is it just natural healing boosted ? That would change the outcome.

If the regeneration/regrowth fully take you back to your (theoretical) prime (for example also fixing balding or greying hairs), then I would allow it to regrowth the leg.

If after an injury at 5 pm, the regeneration/regrowth take your body back to what it was at 4:59 pm ... sorry, the leg stay missing.

Doylist answer :

Do you have the point to buy back lame ?

If yes it work.
If not, it doesn't.

This is the correct answer from both perspectives, but hold on I need to know more about the Watsonian/Doylist dichotomy here, where did it come from because I love it

edit: Oh yeah, and if they didn't see a point change from the missing leg (i.e. a gameplay acquired disadvantage) then paying for Regrowth would fulfill the point cost justification of the decision at least.
