James Byrne, 29, had his big toe  grafted on to his hand after he severed his left thumb while sawing  through a piece of wood last December. Surgeons had first tried to sew  his original thumb back on but the blood would not start flowing again  despite months of treatment, including using leeches <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VkqkJKfbEI0/Tum-uTvVSYI/AAAAAAAAoYc/bsyHvkFHL8k/s1600/James+Byrne+New+Finger+Thum-002.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A big toe-thumbs up: James Byrne shows off his new left-hand digit after the bandages came off That's when the surgeons made their  unusual suggestion of using his dominant toe. They said losing a toe  would only affect his balance in the short term - therefore outweighing  the loss to his foot. His consultant Umraz Khan at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol carried out the operation in September. Now, two months after the operation, the paver from Bristol has a working 'thumb' - which he has nicknamed 'Toby'. <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fm9ml3vXnNY/Tum-vt-nGkI/AAAAAAAAoYk/Y8enu1u2teI/s1600/James+Byrne+New+Finger+Thum-003.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /> </blockquote>
