The Centre for Orthopaedic Trauma (CTO) in Turin has performed on Tuesday the world’s first pelvis transplant, an operation that saved the life of an 18-year-old suffering from osteosarcoma.
The condition was considered inoperable and the boy responded quite well to 16 cycles of chemotherapy but the doctors didn’t stop at the traditional treatment, racking their brains to find a definitive solution.
