The youth that on Friday left the hospital, already has the recovered nerves and it has won mobility to the height of the elbow. In spite of everything, he/she will still have to wait between 9 and 12 months to be able to move the hand, since the cellular fabric has to grow inside of the implanted member and he/she makes it to a speed from a millimeter to day, as Dug Pedro, boss of the Unit of Reconstruction of the Hand of the Center of Rehabilitation explained of he Gets up, in Valencia, where it was carried out this complicated intervention.

Israel Sarrió was remitted to this center after a glass of the window of its vehicle cut him the arm in an accident of happened traffic the past January 31. The Dug doctor's team, him reimplantó the member in an intervention without complications, although during the postoperative one a took place «infection descontrolada» that threatened the success of the operation.

Risks asumibles

After three days days, and in the face of the serious risk of losing the arm, the doctors decided to retire it and to try to save him uniting it to the groin. «The only aternativa was to lose it and to appeal to a prótesis» as he/she affirmed yesterday the specialist who stood out that the risks of this intervention that never before had carried out «they were asumibles and the reasonable possibilities of success».

This way you «he/she kept» the arm in the leg, uniting it to the arteries and veins to maintain it alive, while he/she cleaned the wound and he/she was treated the infection. Nine days later he/she went possible implant the arm in the stump again, as the Dug doctor explained who he affirmed that the patient evolves favorably and they have not registered new infections.

Israel highlighted yesterday that is «very happy» and although still note the sleeping hand and he/she doesn't have sensation on the outside, yes that feels a tickling for the interior, «I notice the nerves and the things that move there» he/she explained.

The doctors discarded that they can already take place complications and they described as success the intervention, since «it is clear that it is much better than a prótesis and he/she will be able to carry out with the hand a daily life, using it to catch things or to eat, and it even drive again, although it is still premature to know it».

Editing now

I've seen this on the news tonight, quite impressive

LMFAO!!

Yeah, I agree

I saw this on the paper, but they only showed a photograph of the man with his arm in a sort of sling. I can't see the picture you posted, Rubén, and I'd rather not! However, I think it's a great thing that they managed to save his arm after all!

Neither can I...
