Surgeon probed for 'breaking woman's femur'

(ANSA) - Milan, March 23 - A surgeon at a Milan hospital was arrested Thursday for allegedly breaking a 78-year-old woman's femur so as to try out a "bikini-style" operation to "train myself", according to a wiretap. "I didn't put stitches in, I put in a zip so I can open her up again," said the orthopaedics chief at the Gaetano Pini Hospital, Norberto Confalonieri.
    Confalonieri was arrested for bid-rigging and corruption and is under investigation for bodily harm.
