Girl walks again after tissue removal in Boston
Osmarina Santana, 17, has returned to Brazil relieved by a Boston treatment for Milroy's disease. Doctors removed seven pounds of tissue from her right leg and less from the left, enabling her to run for the first time in memory. The operation, by Feins and Fonkalsrud, offers no cure but may prevent swelling return.
