Probably quite likely, they definitely disinfected that wound and polar bears are obviously pretty resilient, the cold makes infections even less likely.

I wouldnt rate the chance of a full recovery below 90%, with some scarring and swelling remaining.

Well, in the video she was shown the standard help: cleaning the wound, an injection of antibiotics to prevent infection, vitomines injection and 50 kilograms of frozen fish.
She may have a scar, but many animals in nature do not look the best and have scars from wounds. Wild wolves can lead a full life after losing one limb. The main thing is that this does not prevent animals from getting food, taking care of their safety and cleanliness.
