In the whole Christian tradition, God/Jesus generally does not go for organ or limb regeneration. Two counter examples are a healed ear in Luke (but this may well have been resumption of hearing? details are a little light), and then a single Spanish example in the 1600s.

For His own mysterious reasons, He simply doesn’t go in for that stuff, however much intercessionary prayer ends up in His inbox.

not an amputee, but he did heal a man with a withered or malformed hand in Matthew 12. he also healed plenty of cripples, so I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that some or many of them were missing limbs.
Why does god hate amputees?
