3 legged goat aids medical science
In San Antonio the Southwest Research Institute tests a implanted limb on a goat six months into use. Dr. C W Hall and Dr. Michael DeBakey note the device supports weight on the bone rather than flesh, aiming to improve artificial limbs for humans and offer veterinary uses for horses. The VA funds the program as trials continue amid infection and skin-penetration challenges.
