Há cerca de dez anos atrás  Milo sofreu um acidente de moto e sofreu uma lesão no plexo braquial que  deixou o braço sem movimento. Após cirurgia envolvendo transplante de  tecidos musculares e nervosos conseguiu recuperar os movimentos de seu  antebraço, porém a mão continuou paralisada. 
Uma outra operação  envolvendo transplante de tecidos musculares e nervosos foi feita em seu  antebraço, na tentativa de recuperar os movimentos da mão, infelizmente  sem sucesso, mas acabou aumentando o sinal elétrico de seu cérebro para  seu antebraço, o que era suficiente para movimentar uma mão biônica,  motivo que o fez tomar esta decisão tão polémica.
Fabricada  pela empresa alemã de Próteses Otto Bock, a prótese está ligada ao  sistema nervoso central com dois sensores colocados na pele do  antebraço, o que faz com que a mão biônica possa comprimir-se e agarrar  objetos em resposta a sinais do cérebro.
“A operação vai mudar minha vida, estou há 10 anos com esta mão inerte e nada melhor pode ser feito”, disse Milo antes da cirurgia realizada no Hospital Geral de Viena. 
Apesar das críticas geradas por esta decisão, Milo está feliz.
Milo, now 26, was well known in Australia after a decision considered crazy by everyone. He decided to amputate his hand, although visually intact, was completely inherent to put in place a bionic prosthesis. 
About ten years ago Milo suffered a motorcycle accident and suffered a brachial plexus injury that left arm motionless. After transplant surgery involving muscle tissues and nervous movements managed to recover her forearm, but his hand went numb.
Another operation involving transplantation of nerve and muscle tissue was done on his forearm in an attempt to recover the hand movements, unfortunately without success, but just increasing the electrical signal from your brain to your forearm, which was enough to move a hand bionics, why did it take this decision as controversial.
Made by German company Otto Bock prosthesis, the prosthesis is connected to the central nervous system with two sensors placed on the skin of the forearm, which makes the bionic hand could be compressed and grab objects in response to signals from the brain.
"The operation will change my life, I am 10 years with this inert hand and nothing better can be done," Milo said before the surgery performed at the General Hospital of Vienna.
Despite the criticism generated by this decision, Milo is happy.
