An 8-year-old boy from Maryland became the youngest patient in the US to receive a double hand transplant. He lost his hands and feet to sepsis as a toddler. The boy underwent an 11-hour surgery at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to receive the transplant. A 40-person team reconnected bones, arteries, veins, muscles, tendons and nerves from the donor hands. The boy described waking up with his new hands as "weird at first, but then good" and has had no complaints after the procedure.
