Mullen was then introduced to Corporal Josh Maloney, an Iraq veteran who lost his right hand during a training exercise in 2007. He tried a couple of different prosthetic limbs as replacements. He couldn’t deal with any of them – “worthless,” he said. A little more than a year ago, doctors here gave him a transplanted hand from a cadaver. It’s a tricky operation that not only involves the connection of tissue, muscle, nerves, and bone. It also means giving the patient an immunosuppressive cocktail, including cells from the donor’s bone marrow, so that the new limb won’t be rejected by its new host. In Maloney’s case, it worked. “At eight months, I really started to get feeling [in the hand]. At nine months, I was playing Playstation again. Now I kick everyone’s butt,” he said.
