Elephentiasis

B was a patient with a massive right leg from filariasis. He had been to many hospitals over the last fifteen years but no one was willing to operate on him. He had heard of Manali and came here to find out if we would help him. He could not wear shoes or pants and his misshapen gigantic leg dragged him around. ‘

He underwent a modified Homans procedure on the 5th November, and is recovering.
