A young baseball player discovered that he has cancer in is right leg. His family was given a few options. First was to completely amputate his leg. Second was to replace the thigh bone with a metal rod. And the third was to remove half of his leg that had the cancerous tumor, and attach his foot on backwards on the knee joint. They chose the third option. The surgery was a 23 hours long. Surprisingly when he woke up, he could move his half-amputated leg.
