Story 2
Tygerberg Hospital has made history by performing the country’s first fully internal bone transport and limb-lengthening reconstruction.
The groundbreaking surgery corrected a severe leg injury and a 30 mm limb-length difference, offering the patient a renewed chance at mobility and independence.

Woman Regains Use of Hand After Rare Transplant
Story 3
A 64-year-old woman in Buckinghamshire, England, has regained partial use of a hand following a transplant eight years after losing all her limbs to infection and sepsis.
Surgeons attempted a double hand transplant during a 14-hour operation, but only the left hand could be successfully attached. She can now perform daily tasks such as brushing her teeth, doing her hair, and holding objects.
The surgery is considered rare and complex, with recovery expected to continue over several months.
The patient has expressed gratitude to the donor’s family for their contribution.
The successful procedure demonstrates the potential of advanced reconstructive surgery to restore independence to patients with severe limb loss.
