Bangladeshi girl with three legs 'walks, runs' after Australia surgery

SYDNEY - A toddler born with three legs because body parts of a twin had grown inside her was returning home to Bangladesh on Friday after surgery in Australia enabled her to walk and run, her doctor said.

Three-year-old Choity Khatun was given little prospect of survival until she was brought to Melbourne last year by Australian charity Children First Foundation.

A team of surgeons spent several months mapping out a procedure to reconstruct her anatomy.
