Emily Eccles was left holding her jaw in her hands after a riding accident
Part of Emily Eccles’s jaw was left hanging on by a flap of skin after her horse bolted and she hit…
15-year-old Emily Eccles was left with injuries so bad that her surgeon described it as the “worst he’d seen outside a war zone”. She was out riding for the first time when an accident split her jaw in two.
She underwent reconstructive surgery at Sheffield Children’s Hospital, and has made a fast recovery.
Emily, her mum and her doctor Ricardo Mohammed-Ali told BBC Breakfast what happened.
