Any numbness from that procedure would most likely be due to swelling and should resolve in a few days. It is possible, but unlikely, that the digital nerve was cut, but nothing would be done to repair it, and it would recover over several months to a year. I'm more concerned you still have pus. Follow up with the surgeon to verify there is no worsening infection and ask them about the numbness.
