World's first double arm transplant
Mikey 1 commentThis is some remarkable medicine. An unnamed German man has made medical history by being the first person to receive an arm transplant - both arms actually.
Transplant is probably not the correct term, and that implies his original arms were swapped for the new ones, which isn't the case. He had lost his arms 6 years earlier in a farming accident.
The arms came from a teenage boy who was declared brain dead after a car accident.
