Eight-year-old boy is the world's youngest person fitted with bionic arm

An eight-year-old boy is the world's youngest person to be fitted with a bionic 'hero arm' - and celebrated by eating his favourite burger with two hands for the first time. Freddie Cook was given his new arm days before his eighth birthday and was thrilled to be able to pick up his beloved hamburger - with added ketchup - at his birthday party. The arm is the first medically approved prosthesis in Britain which allows for precise and delicate movements that other prosthetic hands cannot do. The device weighs less than a bag of sugar and has enabled active Freddie - who was born without a right hand - to be able to grip the handlebars of his favourite scooter and climb with his friends.
