A nine-year-old boy is the only person in the world to have undergone revolutionary surgery to correct his spine which was so badly deformed it was shaped like a 'C'. Connor Demetriou's spine had a staggering 96-degree curvature which was squashing vital organs including one of his lungs and left him struggling to walk. Doctors were concerned the condition known as 'scoliosis' threatened his life expectancy. He underwent a pioneering eight-hour 'double trolley' op in January this year which has ultimately saved his life and allowed him to walk easily again.
