Patient with both legs severed at thigh level walks again after doctors perform rare replantation surgery in East China’s Jiangsu_我的网站

The patient, a 51-year-old surnamed Jiang, had both legs completely severed at the thighs in a machinery accident at a factory on December 2, 2024. A multidisciplinary team from the trauma orthopedics and joint surgery departments at Suzhou Ruihua Orthopedic Hospital, in East China's Jiangsu Province, worked through the night for nearly eight hours to reattach the two limbs, the report said.
Li Changsong, head of a trauma orthopedics team at the hospital, told the Yangtze Evening Post on Tuesday that Jiang can now walk indoors with a walker and manage most daily activities without assistance. Sensation in his lower limbs has also recovered to the area above his ankles.
"He is still recovering and is expected to gradually stop using crutches and eventually walk independently," Li was quoted as saying by the Yangtze Evening Post on Wednesday.
In March last year, shortly after the external fixators were removed from both legs, Jiang could already lift his legs freely while lying in bed. Sensation had returned as far down as the middle of his lower legs, and he was discharged from the hospital on March 5. His main goal at the time was to stand and walk again through rehabilitation, according to the report.
More than a year later, Jiang has moved from being confined to bed to lifting his legs and then standing and walking, the report said, noting that his rehabilitation is still ongoing.
The recovery process has not been without complications. Jiang developed localized skin necrosis after the operation and underwent flap reconstruction surgeries. He later required bone grafting and reinforced internal fixation of both femurs after severe open comminuted fractures resulted in femoral nonunion.
Li said Jiang is now in good overall condition, with his legs approximately equal in length.
"A novelty assessment conducted by the Jiangsu Institute of Medical Information confirmed this as the world's first case of replantation following the complete severing of both thighs," Li said.
Li said the case was considered a world first primarily because both legs were completely severed at thigh level simultaneously, an extremely rare injury. The hospital had previously accumulated extensive experience in replanting single limbs and lower legs, while its expertise in fracture fixation, vascular anastomosis and nerve repair provided an important technical foundation for the operation, according to the report.
Li did not give a timetable for when Jiang might be able to stop using a walker completely.
"Recovery varies from person to person. We still need to monitor his muscle strength, nerve sensation and fracture healing," Li said. Based on his current progress, however, Jiang's walking ability could continue to improve, the Yangtze Evening Post reported.

。 中新社北京8月21日电 记者21日从中国电力企业联合会获悉，7月全国全社会用电量规模再创历史新高。有关电力专家指出，第三产业用电量增速较快，高技术及装备制造业用电量表现突出，新动能用电保持高速增长，新质生产力对用电的支撑作用持续强化。 7月，全国全社会用电量1.04万亿千瓦时，月度用电量规模再次突破万亿千瓦时，同比增长1.7%；7月用电规模比上年同期多174.5亿千瓦时，再创月度用电量历史新高。 中国电力企业联合会统计与数智部主任助理吴立强表示，7月，第三产业用电量同比增长4.8%，增速为各产业中最快。
二 | 同期，高技术及装备制造业用电量表现突出。高技术及装备制造业用电量同比增长8.9%，较上年同期提高1.7个百分点，对第二产业用电增量贡献率达55.8%。其中，电气机械和器材制造业与计算机/通信和其他电子设备制造业两个行业，对7月全国全社会用电量增量贡献率合计达33%。 7月，消费品制造业用电量同比增长4.3%，占全社会用电增量占比14.4%，是制造业中除高技术装备外的第二大正向拉动板块。 吴立强说，在数字经济与交通电气化的双轮驱动下，7月，全国充换电服务业用电量164.2亿千瓦时、同比增长50.3%；互联网数据服务用电量99.1亿千瓦时、同比增长40.1%；信息传输、软件和信息技术服务业用电量210.3亿千瓦时、同比增长15.8%。7月当月，互联网数据服务和充换电服务业用电量增量合计超过第三产业用电增量比重的80%。
三 | 吴立强表示，受去年同期华北黄淮区域极端高温导致的居民生活用电增速高基数影响，今年7月城乡居民生活用电增速较上年同期下降23.1个百分点，对全社会用电量增量带来较大拖累。
