India teen is youngest to get shoulder-level limb transplant
The Straits Times
|September 30, 2024
A 15-year-old teenager from Goregaon, Mumbai, became the youngest person in the world to undergo a shoulder-level limb transplant, her doctor told Times of India in a Sept 29 report.
Anamta Ahmad underwent the surgery on Sept 18, after losing her right arm in an electrocution accident in 2022, the news outlet said.
She had been playing with her cousins at her home in Aligarh when she accidentally touched an 11 kilovolts wire, causing critical burns to both her arms.
Her right hand subsequently developed gangrene - or body tissue death - and she had to undergo multiple amputations. The teenager's left arm was also severely injured in the aftermath, leaving limited functionality.
Anamta received the donated limb from the family of a nine-year-old girl who had been declared brain-dead in the western Indian city of Surat.
