A Chinese woman who had her legs twisted the wrong way round in a car accident has been told she should be able to walk and stand normally after undergoing corrective surgery.
Xiao Fang was just seven when she was involved in an horrific car accident which caused severe damage to her legs.
Surgeons managed to avoid having to amputate them, but due to the trauma she suffered in the accident her legs began to grow abnormally and become twisted out of shape.
Miss Fang, now 22, from Harbin in China's north eastern Heilonjiang province, has had to live with the problem for 15 years.
But finally she underwent the corrective surgery on her limbs on June 21.
During the successful operation, her legs were straightened out and her surplus knee bones removed.
Tendons in her legs were also lengthened by the surgeons to allow her to walk.
Both legs are now in casts and Miss Fang has been told by doctors she should be able to walk normally on them once the bones have healed completely.
