Surgeons "Grow New Finger Joints"

Surgeons say they have successfully grown new finger and toe joints in people with rheumatoid arthritis. They say the technique can reverse the damage caused by the disease, restoring movement and eliminating pain. They have used a specially designed mould to help tissue grow between two bones and create a functional joint in over 100 patients. Surgeons at Tampere University of Technology in Finland say it could become widely available within a year.
