Ed lost his leg and his brother's entire body in a failed experiment. In exchange, he gained the ability to perform alchemy without transmutation circles. Tough trade, but it makes him super cool!
Short answer: Equivalent Exchange! The long answer involves some major spoilers about Ed's journey and sacrifices.
It's called human transmutation and it's super rare. Ed and Al paid a heavy price for it, but hey, no circles needed!
