he's quite litereally grown a part of his leg back

as the title on the BBC page says...."Ian Hutchinson: This is why TT riders are not like normal people"

best not to read it while eating

Cool stuff, eh!

Also, from his x-rays, you can see just how big one's balls must be to ride in the TT!!

Surely you could just pack the void with hydroxyapatite, and avoid the business with the screws? Let it dissolve into the body as the new bone regrows (providing calcium&phosphates for that new growth), they've got pretty good at tuning the dissolution rate to match bone ingrowth these days
