Karl Merk, a 54-year-old German farmer, who last year in July received the world's first operation of double arm transplant, appeared before reporters.
Both arms of Karl Merk were amputated to shoulder after an accident at work, but the doctors did a real miracle. The arms were taken from a young man who died in a car accident.
According to medics, it will take about two years to fully restore the functions of the arms.
