Growing Bones
Doctors Grow New Jaw Bone in Man’s Back:
A German who had his lower jaw cut out because of cancer has enjoyed his first meal in nine years - a bratwurst sandwich - after surgeons grew a new jaw bone in his back muscle and transplanted it to his mouth in what experts call an “ambitious” experiment.
CNN’s version of the event includes interesting photos.
That’s bizarre.
