Doctors in Israel has done a remarkable job by reattaching the head of a 12 year old boy to his neck. Ligaments holding the posterior base of the boy's skull were badly damaged. This detached it from the top vertebrae of his spine. All this happened while the boy was riding a bicycle and met with a severe car accident.  Dr Ohad Einav, the orthopedic specialist,with the help of a large team of doctors and paramedics, finally succeeded in completing the complicated surgery! They used new plates & fixations in the damaged area. Suleman Hassan, the name of the boy, was recently discharged and is known to be functioning normally.
