Surgery actually stitched the nerves together believe it or not. Everything downstream of the cut had to regenerate. Learned a lot about anatomy from that incident. She was very lucky to not lose any motor function or strength but still has some funny symptoms as the nerves don’t grow back the exact same.
If Kane’s in the same boat it’ll take a while to get back to 100%.

I am guessing from the 3-4 month call, as well as from the video where the specialist said there aren't really any major nerves near the radial artery, that he didn't get significant nerve damage (which would be really good news for him).
I had my ulna artery and ulna nerve severed, and the nerve took 25 years to grow back (from mid-forearm), though it never fully grew back, and I still have significant nerve damage in my hand. Would have been career-ending, were I a pro athlete.
Kane's biggest concern is likely tendon damage - still terrible, but a better mend than nerve damage.
