Antonio Fernández, Santander, 44, suffered the crushing amputation to the wrist of his left hand by an 80-ton press. Through the transferring of three toes -using a world pioneering technique- a functional structure was rebuilt on the scaphoids and radius from the stump.

Thanks to this tripod-like structure the patient can manipulate objects and face daily routines like using cutlery or driving.
