Hello List mates
I have a case of a young male with bilateral upper extremity amputations.
This young man is interested in an arm transplant. I am aware that a "few" have been done on returning vets with some success. I am interested in any information regarding this type of surgery including where it would typically be performed, how it is coded (CPT codes) and rehab for a cadaver limb.
Any resources / researched material would be of great assistance
Please email me privately - thanks
