Surgeons seemingly have rescued life of a young girl in China - by grafting it on to her leg for three months.

Ming Li, 9, in an accident lost her left hand when a tractor ran over her, on her way to school in July. Now after the surgery her hand is attached with her left calf and after it is reattached to her arm right.

However it apparently has been dangerously damaged to get be glued again, thus doctors decided to attach it to her right leg while it healed.

After three months in a hospital in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, transplanted it back on to her arm.

Spokesperson Dr Hou Jianxi explained: 'When she came in, her left hand was completely severed from her body. It was very scary. But Ming Li can now move her wrist again and her left hand is a healthy pink colour proving that the blood is circulating well.'

Ming Li needs to undergo two more operations in the coming years to better her hand functions and remove scars, according to Orange News. Dr Hou stated that he was pretty confident of the fact that the youngster will be having vital movements back after physiotherapy.
