A true mother's touch: In 15-hour surgery, mom's bone graft saves her just-born son's spine, which was damaged at birth
‘Onu was a big baby whose spine snapped during a normal delivery. If the injury wasn’t severe, we would have waited for the baby to grow up. But he was already in respiratory distress, and we had to operate. He couldn’t be given titanium implants, so we decided to take a bone from the mother’s hip,’ says neurosurgeon Dr Deepak Gupta, AIIMS Trauma Centre.
