A man lost his right hand in an accident at work. Doctors then had it successfully reattached after a month, Fox News reports.
Xiao Wei underwent reattachment surgery in
Mr Wei said: "I was just shocked and frozen to the spot, until colleagues unplugged the machine and retrieved my hand and took me to the hospital.
"I am still young, and I couldn't imagine life without a right hand."
However, doctors at a larger hospital offered a solution and opted to sew the hand to the ankle to stop it dying while they treated his other injuries.
Nearly a month after his hand was severed, Wei had recovered sufficiently to undergo reattachment surgery.
