is it possible to surgically connecting or add functional new elbow to someone arms?

example image from One piece by Eichiro Oda

inspired by this Texas doctors sew man's hand to abdomen to save fingers (i know it actually merge with the abdoment, but the image make it look like it was attaching another hand over his lose hand.)

so a mad man try to surgically attaching or modifying new elbow to his patient (doesnt need to be similar size for the new elbow like it have bigger or smaller bicep for example), is it possible ? can the arm move after surgical/recovery complete?

just assume the mad man is very skilled and have the best equipment either modern or futuristic.

feel free to suggest another solution if surgical method is impossible outside of genetic enginering or birth defect and mechanical like cyborg.
