Mother Donates Hip Bone Section for Son in Marin General
SAN RAFAEL OPD A mother donated a section of her pelvic bone to her five year old son in a dramatic simultaneous operation at Marin General Hospital. Three Marin county orthopedic surgeons removed the pelvic bone from Mrs Ethelyne L Wood and used it to support a portion of her son Bruce's chin bone damaged by a large bone cyst. The cyst was removed, doctor said the operation caused acute suffering for the mother, wife of Captain Charles J Wood of Hamilton Air Force Base. She will be hospitalized about two weeks and recover in three weeks, aside from a five inch scar. Bruce will remain in hospital about 10 days with a cast, to be changed several times before removal in three months. The cyst is not cancerous but destroys bone. doctors believed taking bone from the mother provides the only permanent cure, as bone from other parts of the body might be too shocking and a bone bank cannot provide live bone.
