    Chinese doctors have saved a man's severed hand by grafting it to his ankle, it is reported.
    Xiao Wei lost his right hand in an accident at work but could not have it reattached to his arm right away.
    Instead, the hand was kept alive by stitching it to Mr Wei's left ankle and "borrowing" a blood supply from arteries in the leg.
    A month later, surgeons were able to remove the hand and replant it back on his arm, according to Rex Features.

    Comes in handy if he gets an itchy ankle.
