amputation

Josh Campbell, of Crestline, thought he'd never skateboard again after losing his right leg to bone cancer at 14, but after seeing his son pick up the board, he's back at it.

In a study just published in the New England Journal of Medicine, UH doctors said an experimental new therapy called LimFlow has helped about two-thirds of their patients at greatest risk for amputation keep their leg.
