after surgical attachment above the hand, can the regenerating nerve maintain intergrity to innervate all the muscles in the hand or it depends which hand muscles were exercised or it is hard to tell with nerves?

It depends on many variables. Depends on integrity of blood flow after the injury - also how soon surgery is done after the injury.
Often there is a mind/body tenasity that heals body parts that otherwise doctors would think undoable.

Medicine is not an exact science, that is why it is said that doctors have a practice.

Nerves grow very slow although peripheral nerves regenerate faster than the cns.

Doctors still disagree of wether or not they actually do grow at all, but they do.

They grow slower than other or all parts of the body.

You can expect recovery of less than 100% but 90 percent or so of what you do recover will happen within 2 years and thats the fast part the last 10% of what you recover could take another decade.

Vitamin A will help to regenerate nerves. Learn about it well before you decide what kind how much and how often to take it which is not every day but read about it carefully you can OD on it but also people have taken multiple times the amounts recommended without ill effects just be carefull and vitamin E also works well in conjunction with A if you get a natural source of d- alpha-tochopheral to help with that scar tissue.
