World's first double arm transplant recipient can now drive and work out at the gym | SWNS

A man who underwent the world's first full double arm transplant 16 months ago can now work out at the gym and hug his grandchildren. Felix Gretarsson, 49, had to have his arms amputated after he was electrocuted at work. After decades without them, they convinced a surgeon to perform a double arm and shoulder transplant in a 15-hour surgery, in January 2021. The dad has shocked surgeons with his incredible progress and is now able to brush his teeth, walk and throw balls for his dog and hug his kids with his transplanted arms. * This content is being managed by SWNS.
