A five-year-old boy born with one hand has become the youngest ever person to be fitted with a bionic arm.
Jordan Marotta was left in a state of “pure joy” when he received his Iron Man-themed ‘Hero Arm’ prosthetic on Wednesday (22/5).
And heartwarming footage showed how just hours later, he was able to whizz around on his scooter while holding the handlebars with the arm's life-like grip.
