1. The feasibility and implications which are necessary while replacing the entire arm during transplantation are that an arm may suffer a tremendous amount of injuries during an accident due to which the healing process may become difficult (Elliott, Tintle and Levin, 2013). If the intensity of a traumatic injury is high then it becomes difficult to provide proper locomotor coordination to the arm. There is the importance of transplantation as the patient gets the tissue graft from some other parts of the body and the injured tissue is allowed to regenerate. Thus the tissues and nerves of the body which get excessively damaged in an accident easily recover. If a part of an arm has been damaged or cut during an accident then the procedure of surgical transplantation helps in joining the cut part back. The damaged blood vessels are sutured and threaded back and the blood supply is restored thus leading to the normal functioning of the arm back after performing the surgery. The tissues for performing arm transplantation can be taken from some other part of the body. Thus there are feasibilities and positive implications for replacing the arm during transplantation after an accident (Joon Bu Park and Lakes, 2007).
