Texas Boy Survives Orthopedic Decapitation

A 9-year-old Hillsboro, Texas boy’s recovery from a near decapitation is being called a miracle. Jordan Taylor only had a 1-2 percent chance to live after suffering an orthopedic decapitation in a car accident 3 months again.

Jordan was riding in the back seat of a car his mother Stacey Perez was driving when a dump truck ran a stop sign and hit the vehicle. The boy’s skull separated from his neck but his spinal cord remained intact.

“The energy basically made his head lift up off his neck, and then move forward. All of the connective tissue that essentially keeps your head connected to your neck was destroyed,” says Dr. Richard Roberts, the pediatric neurosurgeon who operated on Jordan.

Jordan’s skull and neck has been reattached with a metal plate and titanium rods. Dr. Roberts says it’s a miracle that Jordan is able to walk and talk.
