Three-armed boy to have surgery
A baby boy born with two left arms is set to undergo surgery to remove one of them in Shanghai. However, the team at the Shanghai Children's Medical Center are unsure how best to proceed, and have yet to set a date for the operation. Neither arm is fully functional and tests have so far been unable to determine which was more developed. The boy, Jie-jie, cries when either of his left arms is touched, but smiles and responds normally to other stimuli. # posted by masquerader @ 13:14 ::
