Clint Hallam (born in New Zealand) is the first recipient of a human hand transplant. Hallam lost his hand in a round accident at Rolleston Prison in 1984, where he was imprisoned after a fraudulent conviction. The original reattachment of broken limbs failed, and his hands were amputated.

Transplant
An operating team led by Australian Earl Owen and Frenchman Jean-Michel Dubernard transplanted a new hand on 23 September 1998 in a 13-hour operation in Lyon, France. At the time of the transplant, Clint Hallam faces fraudulent charges in Australia, linked to a national fuel card fraud totaling $ 30,000. After a period of two years in which he has no motor control of the transplanted hands, Hallam voluntarily stops taking immunosuppressive drugs.
The transplanted hand was amputated on February 3, 2001 by Nadey Hakim. Hallam has a problem with transplantation due to failure to take anti-rejection drugs on a regular basis, and does the exercises needed to build motor strength and ability.
