Surgeons create new fingers for car crash victim
Telegraph | News | Surgeons create new fingers for car crash victim: "Surgeons have used bone from a teenager's pelvis to recreate the fingers she lost in a car crash.
In a pioneering operation, surgeons took the bone, skin grafts from her thigh, and tendons from her wrist and ankle, and reshaped them into realistic-looking fingers.
These were then attached to 16-year-old Kim Murray's right hand, which was missing a thumb and two fingers after a road crash two months ago, when she was a passenger in a car that rolled over on the A14 in Suffolk."
