A Chinese man who had the world's biggest hand is hoping for a normal life after undergoing surgery.

Liu Hua, 24, from Jiangsu Province, had fingers thicker than his arms before the operation to remove 11lbs of bone and tissue,

His left thumb, index finger and middle finger were deformed at birth but they have since grown to an amazing size.

Liu said: "My thumb and index finger are even thicker than my arms, and make my left hand useless. "When I go out, I have to wrap my left hand in clothes and pretend I’m holding a bag."

Doctors at Shanghai City 9th People’s hospital took seven hours to do the surgery. They plan another operation in about six months.

"We kept his five fingers, and hopefully his left hand will eventually regain normal function," they said.

Liu was suffering from a rare disease called macrodactyly, a birth defect in which toes or fingers are abnormally large.
go

I hope it,s all a success for him! After living like that for so many years i bet he,s really looking forward to just being normal!

Oh my God!!!

Do you know, when I first saw the photo, it took me a few moments before I made it out.

Poor sod! I hope it can be sorted.

What the... That is definetly a big hand. It took a moment for me as well.

Oh poor guy .... that had to be hard, hope everything works out well for him.

omg, that poor man...I can only imagine the extra weight of the hand..I'm glad he's having the operations and hope his hand will be normally functional again.

That poor geezer, what a shame. Hope his operation goes well.

oops sorry about that.

I was going to add on to my other post, imagine how difficult life would be with his poor hand and how life changing this operation is going to be for him.

Reg.

the title must be biggest fingers not hand
creepy and poor man. and is that his vein in blue line ?

big hands = ow he does the cleaning even faster, that's why women want him

A palm readers nightmare, thats for sure

What no pic?!

the blue is ink from a surgical marker/pen they'll use it to mark off where the incision will be or to note where important arteries/veins are.

it's a pain to wash off to, but in the scheme of things that isn't all that important.

I hope he recovers quickly.
That must have been a pain in the ass to drag around for all those years.

I would hate to get in a fight with that guy
