Severed Leg Reattached in Historic Hospital Operation
Billy L. Smith, 25, at Mt Eden Hospital, underwent an unprecedented graft that rejoined his severed right leg after a crane crush at an industrial plant. Two anonymous surgeons performed the spur of the moment repair three months ago, restoring life to the lower limb though the right leg remains two inches shorter. The operation is now publicly disclosed with Smith smiling in his hospital bed and receiving calls from well wishers, including inquiries from London.
