A man in China was born with nine toes. Doctors successfully removed the extra ones.
A man who was seemingly born with nine toes on one foot has had the extra digits surgically removed in what will be a life-changing surgery for him.
He shared that his “superstitious” parents wouldn’t let him have the extra toes surgically removed after a fortune teller told them the additional digits were a “good omen,” according to the Daily Mail. However, after becoming an adult, he decided to have the surgery to remove the extra toes. These additional digits can range from “a small, raised bump to a complete, working finger or toe,” according to Seattle Children’s Hospital. “The extra finger or thumb may be attached only by skin or nerves, or it may have normal parts and be attached to a joint or an extra bone in the hand [or foot],” according to the Cleveland Clinic.
For Ajun, he underwent a nine-hour operation where surgeons removed his four excess toes and formed a new big toe, which he had been lacking. Wu Xiang, MD, of Shunde Heping Surgical Hospital in Foshan, China, told the Daily Mail: “It's very rare to see such a serious deformity having not been treated in a 21-year-old patient.”
