Short quotes:
> The prosthetic legs, called intraosseous transcutaneous amputation
> prosthetics (Itaps) were developed by a team from UniversityCollege
> London, led by Professor Gordon Blunn.
> ...we have put a piece of metal and a flange into which skin grows
> into an extremely tight bone," ...
> "We have managed to get the bone and skin to grow into the implant
> and we have developed an 'exoprosthesis' that allows this implant to
> work as a see-saw on the bottom of an animal's limbs to give him
> effectively normal gait...
