21st century medicine

Ian McGregor may go down in medical history. He has been fighting cancer for the past ten years and seemed to be approaching his final days as the tumor was very aggressive and had spread from his pelvis to his thigh. The size of the tumor made the regular operation just about impossible. 

So, the surgeons tried something new. They removed his lower leg, except for the bones, attached it to his arm and then used it to repair the site of the operation. After removing his leg and the tumor they then disconnected the calf from his forearm and used it to repair the area from where the tumor had been removed.
