Ancient Scythian Jaw Surgery Revealed by 2,500-Year-Old Prosthetic

CT scans of a permafrost-preserved Pazyryk mummy from the Ukok Plateau show a 2,500-year-old jaw injury that was surgically reconstructed with a primitive prosthetic: canals pierced into the temporomandibular joint were held in place by horsehair or animal tendon, enabling limited jaw movement and indicating advanced ancient medical knowledge; the woman survived months or years after the procedure, revealing the Pazyryk's sophisticated medical practices and the value placed on her life.

"Connor Bedard Makes Comeback for Blackhawks Against Penguins After Jaw Surgery"

Blackhawks star forward Connor Bedard has been cleared to play against the Pittsburgh Penguins after undergoing successful jaw surgery and being out for approximately six to eight weeks. The team decided to bring him back without waiting for non-contact practices, as they felt there was no real benefit to him practicing before playing in a real game. Bedard's return is crucial for the Blackhawks, as they have struggled offensively in his absence, and he remains their top scoring threat.

Woman undergoes $200k surgery to change her jaw after being bullied for looking like a squirrel.

Izzy Sehon, a 22-year-old woman from Los Angeles, underwent a $200,000 surgery to have her face injected with fat from her stomach to change her unique jawline, which caused her severe bullying and jaw pain. She was diagnosed with idiopathic condylar resorption, a rare condition that causes the bones in the jaw to break down. The surgery involved cutting her jaw in four places and replacing it with custom-made prosthetics. Izzy is now happy with her new appearance and is dreaming of eating a caramel apple for the first time in 14 years.
