Thing Update

18 hours of meticulous surgery later I believe this gentleman's hand is saved. As to function, time will tell. The hand is incredibley complicated with many musculotendinous connections, multiple vascular structures, and nerves. Most run in their own special compartments within the wrist. I can't begin to describe the complexity of this surgery. The gentleman in question had not even brought his severed hand... we had to get the sherrif to go to his house and bring it in. To see a description of the reattachment surgery click on ''Thing Update" above (a different case obviously but very similar).

On a somewhat humorous note a "google" search for ''severed hand'' produced the following...
