Double Hand Transplant Patient Shows New Hands

[highland145]

That's cool. Pick your own.

Richard Edwards made his first appearance on Thursday, about a week after he underwent a nearly 18-hour transplant procedure at a hospital in Louisville. The 55-year-old chiropractor from Edmond, Okla., had his hands severely burned in a fire in 2006.
Edwards was the nation's third double hand transplant recipient. The surgery was performed at Jewish Hospital, the site of the world's first successful hand transplant in 1999.
Doctors say Edwards' progress is ahead of other patients because they were able to route his existing nerves into the donor hands. Edwards lost seven fingers after his accident but retained most of his original hands, though they were badly burned.

That hospital is truly amazing and one of the crowning jewels of Louisville. Just think, in a few decades hand transplants won't be a big deal.

Until they find a way to get around the need to take immune system suppressing drugs for the rest of your life hand transplants will always be a big deal.

I applaud their work.

I heard they made extensive use of DIGITal imaging. In the end, the procedure was a real knuckle biter.

I'm sure it was. They can count on one hand how many times they have done this.

Brings a whole new meaning to The Stranger technique....

"Wait Doctors, we have a new development!"

And that's why I'd never want a hand transplant. Who knows where they've been!
