Hand transplantation is a surgical procedure that is performed to 
transplant a hand from one human to another. The donor hand usually comes from a brain-dead donor and is transplanted to a recipient who has lost one or both hands / arms. The operation typically lasts eight to twelve hours. By comparison, a typical heart transplant operation lasts six to eight hours. Surgeons usually connect the bones first, followed by tendons, arteries, nerves, veins, and skin. Once completed, the hand will be fully functional and have no limited ranges of motion than that of our own.
