in aiding children left with short

Mayo Clinic surgeons said today.
They said bones in one of a

in the corresponding opposite-side
leg by increasing the blood supply

Doctors ]. M. James and j. E.

Society of Surgery that this was
done with several pups-and here
is how they did it:
They established link between
the main artery and vein of one
of a puppy's legs-like a cross

running parallel to one another.
