Breakthrough surgery gives amputees thought-controlled movement - a podcast by Royal Australasian College of Surgeons

The Alfred's Director of Plastic Surgery, Mr Frank Bruscino-Raiola, discusses the innovative procedure known as Targeted Muscle Reinnervation (TMR) and the on-going rehabilitation system of osseointegration, which can provide patients a better quality of life.
