2ND MOST FASCINATING MEDICAL MIRACLE.

A TEENAGE MODEL HAD HER BODY
HELD TOGETHER
BY 11 RODS
A girl,Katrina Burgess,17, was told
by doctors she may never walk
again after surving a 70mph
car crash with
a
broken neck&
back,and a catalogue of injuries.
But after being put back with 11
metal rods & enough pins &screws to send an airport
security detector
into overdrive,
Katrina
was signed up
by a modelling agency.
Surgeons saved her life after her
car left the M5 &
crashed into
a ditch as she travelled towards her hometown of WEYMOUTH,DORSET.
She snapped her back, punctured both lungs
&broke her
neck,her pelvis,her left leg,and several ribs.
Surgeons @ Musgrove park hospital in Taunton,
SOMERSET,said that with surgery to
help
the bone to fuse,her spinal injuries in particula could
deteriorate,risking
death.

Doctor inserted
a rod from her
hip to her knee in her left leg the day she was
admitted to the hospital.
It was secured
inside with 4 titanium pins.
The most risky
opèration came a week later.
They sliced open her back& inserted
6 more
horizontal rods up the length of her to support her spine. A week after that,they inserted
a titanium screw
to the top of spine
to support the
break
in her fragile neck.
Only a day after the
the last operation,
she was
able to take her first steps.
Astonishingly,
5 months on
from the crash,
the teenager has recovered to the
point
where she no longer even
needs painkillers.
