If we make skin and muscle cells when we heal cuts and heal/generate bones after breaking them, why wouldn’t we be able to grow a finger if one is cut off?

Funny seeing this come up, about two weeks ago I managed to do a slight amputation on my index finger. It cut off just above where the bone is, x-ray shows it might have actually grazed the bone but did not fragment it thankfully. When I went and saw the Ortho doctor he said that it should heal really nicely, look and function similar to how it was before. Probably have some scarring too but he wants me to use it more and get the nerves used to working again otherwise the basic touch could become painful after it’s fully healed. As for if it was the whole finger I can’t really answer that. I’ve been taking pics of the healing process because the way the tissue grows back is pretty cool!
