Temporary ectopic implantation

"A man lost his arm in an accident. Due to tissue damage, they couldn't reattach it immediately so they sutured it to his leg to ensure blood flow. The procedure is called temporary ectopic implantation. It succeeded in saving the man's arm which was later reattached."
I haven't found the case report [news report here in Spanish].  The comments at the via are trivial and worthless, but the image is worth seeing.
