Over the past decade, hand transplantation has become a clinical reality. Worldwide, some 40 people have received this life-altering procedure to regain the function and feel of a real human hand.
The process of choosing appropriate candidates for hand transplantation is highly selective. Appropriate candidates will be motivated and committed not just to the surgery but also to a rigorous program of rehabilitation that will follow.
Patients who meet the basic eligibility requirements and wish to be considered for the program, please contact us for an initial evaluation.
