Transplant Patient Has Hand Movement

Matthew Scott--the first man in the U.S. to receive a hand transplant--moved a finger, and doctors said there are no signs of rejection or infection. Scott, 37, lost his left hand in the explosion of an M-80, a powerful and illegal firecracker, on Dec. 23, 1985. He was given a donor hand in 14 1/2 hours of surgery Sunday and Monday at Jewish Hospital in Louisville, Ky. But lead surgeon Dr. Warren Breidenbach warned that any number of complications could arise.
