Mohammad Kaleem became known as the 'Boy with the World's Biggest Hands', he's hands' measured a staggering 33cm ( 1 foot 0.992 inch ) before he underwent dramatic surgery to reduce their sizes. The eight-year-old was born with a condition called macrodactyly, it is a form of local gigantism which caused his hands and arms to keep on growing until they looked like giant's Hands'.His hands weigh more than 5 and a half pounds each (2.5kg). Kaleem's huge hands led superstitious villagers to believe he was cursed. The 8-year-old was bullied, called a 'devil's child' and even refused admission to school.
"The school teachers said they could not take Kaleem. They said his huge hands will scare other kids, said Mohammad Shamim, Kaleem's father.
During the surgery Dr Sabapathy and his team were faced with finding a way to reduce the size of Kaleem's hands and fingers, without damaging any of his nerves, so that he would still be able to use them.
After a successful surgery,Mohammad Sabir, the local school headmaster, said: "We know Kaleem. He had tried to take admission in the school, but for certain reasons we could not accommodate him.
"We've now had news that he is being treated.
"With improvement in his hand, we feel that he can begin classes. We are also instructing our schoolchildren to not bully Kaleem."
