The 4-year-old Ajay, who lives in Haryana (India), lost four fingers of his right hand in a rare accident, when he accidentally reached into the blade of a lawn mower. Immediately after the accident, Ajay was micro-surgery to switch fingers, pairing his 2 toes into the position of the thumb and middle finger.
After nearly three years, Ajay has now been able to use his two new fingers skillfully, even playing cricket.

This type of surgery has a very high success rate (over 95%). The surgery takes about 5 to 8 hours and the patient only needs to be hospitalized for 7 to 10 days. The incision will heal completely after 2 months and the new finger will have full feeling after 6 to 9 months.
However, because of the lack of information, these types of surgeries have not yet become popular.'The price of a surgery is relatively expensive, which is also an obstacle, but hospitals in India are available for free surgery for those who need it but cannot afford it,' Gangaram said. .
