Man with giant feet receives foot surgery
- 9 years ago
A bizarre video has emerged from China of a man with unusually large feet receiving surgery to reduce the size.
In the footage, filmed in Hubei Province on Monday, doctors can be seen checking the man's feet before undertaking the operation.
According news reports, the patient, 28-year-old was born with a pair of massive feet which kept growing until he was twenty-three, reaching 35 centimetres long or EU size 60.
The surgery has reportedly helped reduce the width of his right foot by one fifth, and follow-up treatment will remove the extra toe on his left foot after the right one makes a proper recovery.
The man told reporters he has never had trainers before and hoped to fit into a pair when he was able to leave the hospital.
