In a medical milestone, 29-year-old Luka Kriszanac recently received a life-changing double hand transplant. Luka lost both hands and legs at age 12 due to a severe sepsis infection from an undiagnosed strep throat.
In 2024 he became one of just five patients to undergo this rare10 hour procedure after being carefully matched with a donor.
Luka is regaining use of his hands and is able to hold a cup, type on a phone, even feel hot and cold. He calls it his biggest dream come true and hopes the donor’s family knows they changed not just his life, but his entire family’s.
