A broken window almost closed the door on Alexandre Acra’s use of his right hand. The accident severed two major nerves and a tendon in Alexandre’s wrist. Having one of the best pediatric hand surgeons in the world right in the neighborhood came in, well, handy. After surgery, a cast and a splint, and several weeks of rehabilitation, Alexandre’s back in full force: giving two thumbs up to his team at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital.
