Okay, so, Oscar’s new feet aren’t really bionic, but they are a new incredible prosthetic device that has also been used on a woman who was a victim of the 2005 London Bombing attack. A post of metal is fused into the natural bone at the site of the amputation and the skin is able to heal around the post, bonding to the metal. Then the new feet are custom-made implants that “peg” the ankle to the foot.
Oscar lost his back feet in an accident with a combine harvester and was brought to his owners by an unknown woman who noticed him suffering near their home. The medical procedure is the work of work of ‘bionic vet’ Noel Fitzpatrick.
A bit from the BBC One TV show the Bionic Vet:
Noel Fitzpatrick is seriously impressive and you can see in the video how much he loves animals.
Recent Feet Upgrade:
I’m going to keep up with Oscar, I hope this mod goes well for him. This story is sort of freaky, but if it works well, it’s a huge leap in medical technology for animals and people.
