BALTIMORE (AP) — A soldier who lost all four limbs in a roadside bomb attack in 2009 in Iraq has received a double-arm transplant in Baltimore.
Johns Hopkins Hospital surgeons plan to discuss the transplant Tuesday at a news conference with the infantryman.
Johns Hopkins says the soldier is one of seven in the United States who have undergone successful double-arm transplants.
