So this matter is still lingering on despite all the physio. Physio is useful in cases where we are to avoid athrophy. In this particular case it has been counter productive therefore it is good for people to shut up when they don't have useful idea of a problem. In a nerve damage physio can increase cause separation of nerve especially when it is bruised So not every damage must go to physio.
There is evidence that a separated nerve can link up when separation is a few mm apart if they undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy (hbot). At the time of damage a nerve and surrounding tissues may become inflamed and swell and be painful. After inflammation comes a scar and more damage.HBOT can stop this pathological process with early intervention.
For this patient a few questions need to be answered: Is there any scan to rule out fracture or dislocation?
Can the baby grip your finger? Please grade the difference in strenght between both hands: eg 100%/10%. Is there pain on touch or movement?
While you search for foreign help also ask for hbot after the surgery. It will enhance healing and improve condition.

If you still need my input, send a video of baby in action, another focusing on the hand movement.
As I said before the next best you can do is hbot. HBOT can regenerate nerve fibers. It can link up separated nerves if the distance bethween the separation is not much. It can reduce swelling and inflamation and inprove blood supply to tissues including nerves.

HBOT is one of the best options available for post traumatic neurological injury. If your medical providers knew about it you would have been referred long ago instead of wasting time. How ever it is never too late to try.
Can the child carry its head? Or is it flipping to one side? Any drooling of saliver after birth including now? Any attempt at general movement? Is the crying sound normal or high pitch?

People who have things to offer can say it in public and not privately so beware.
