A 10-year-old boy Zion Harvey from United States who underwent a double hand transplant two years ago can now play baseball using both hands.
In July 2015, surgeons at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia successfully transplanted donor hands and forearms on eight‑year‑old Harvey who, several years earlier, had undergone amputation of his hands and feet and a kidney transplant following a serious infection.
The surgery lasted 10 hours and 40 minutes.
Prior to the surgery, Harvey had told his doctors that his ambition was to swing a baseball bat one day.
He told the BBC Reporters that his life is now complete.
Medical tests showed that although his hands came from a donor, his brain has accepted them as his own.
