Cat gets knee replacement

小貓車禍后裝假肢(圖)

Missy the cat in the UK has become the world's first feline to have an artificial knee replacement, the Daily Mail reported. The 8-year-old family pet had been lying injured in a bush for 2 days with a hind leg broken in 8 places after she was run over by a car. Vets found her close to death, but she made a recovery after undergoing pioneering new surgery to rebuild her limbs and fit a specially-made metal joint. (See photo)

據《每日郵報》報道，最近英國一只名叫"密西"的貓成為世界上第一個安裝假肢的貓咪。這只8歲大的家貓遭遇了車禍，后腿8處骨折，在灌木叢里躺了兩天后才被發現，當時已奄奄一息。然而，獸醫們給她實施了開創性的手術——為她裝上了特制的金屬膝蓋，讓她重新站了起來。(見圖)
