Delhi Doctors Use Toe to Reconstruct Amputated Man's Thumb

Delhi Doctors Use Toe to Reconstruct Amputated Man's Thumb

Imagine a young man lost his thumb in a bad accident.

Doctors couldn't fix his old thumb because it was too damaged.

But, they had another part from his leg that was also removed in the accident.

This part was a toe that was still healthy!

So, the clever doctors used this toe and carefully attached it where the thumb used to be.

This surgery helped the man get his thumb back, allowing him to move his hand again.

The hospital has done many similar surgeries before, like reattaching fingers or toes.

They want people to know that if a body part gets cut off, it's important to try and find it quickly and keep it safe so doctors can try to reattach it.
