China's doctor take the drastic step of grafting a man's severed hand by onto his foot in order to save the limb. Xie Wei, 25, had his right hand saw off by a drilling machine at work last month in Changed, in the central Chinese province of Human.

He went to the hospital seven hours later with his missing limb but medics said they could not reattach the hand to his arm right away because the tissue would have died before the surgery was complete. Instead they decided transplanting the hand somewhere else on his body was the best way to save it.
Thirty-five days later doctors reattached his hand, removing it from his ankle and putting it back on his arm.
