World's Largest Hand... :O
24-year-old macrodactyly patient Liu Hua, from Jiangsu, China, was
recognized in 2007 as the man with the world's largest hand. He was born
with a left thumb, index and middle finger much larger than normal,
which grew dramatically together with his arm as he grew older and has
had a serious impact on his work and day-to-day life.
When Liu was hospitalized in Shanghai in
July 2007, his left thumb measured 26 centimeters, his index finger was
30cm and his middle finger 15cm. The overall weight of his left arm was
about 10 kilograms. Surgeons ended up making a seven-hour operation to
reduce the size of Liu's fingers and thumb, removing 5.1kg of flesh and
bone in the procedure.....
