Surgeons in China are helping a teenager save his neck by shortening it.
Fu Wengui, 15, of Beijing, is preparing to go under the knife because he's reportedly caused immense pain by the three extra vertebrae in his neck.
The teen has 10 vertebrae in his neck while the average person has seven, according to Quirky China, which released photos of him at the hospital. The vertebrae compress his nerves, making it difficult for him to walk.
"When he was six he was diagnosed with congenital scoliosis and abnormal chest frame," Wengui's father, Fu Genyou, told agency.
Congenital scoliosis is a spinal deformity caused by abnormally formed vertebrae, and usually occurs in early development, according to the Scoliosis Research Society. Wengui's surgery will reduce the size of his neck and hopefully enhance movement and reduce pain.
A Beijing-based charity will sponsor his surgery at Chaoyang Hospital, which is working on a treatment plan, according to Quirky News' press release.
"I just hope I can have a normal neck," Wengui said.

"We are going to find Yakubu, perhaps we can get some milk from the masters' kitchen," Tanko said. He was the son of the strongest wrestler in Dogongari. His father was tall and hefty and threw any contester to the ground. Tanko's father was well respected for his strength and the man was a very gentle and humble man but Tanko was the opposite of his father. He was weak, troublesome and very mischievous. Had he not had a striking facial resemblance with his father, as well as his height, his paternity would have been in doubt. Bawa was the son of the village tobacco merchant. His father was short and fat and very tricky. He had a reputation for cheating people. He was also a money lender who demanded very high interest. Bawa was a replica of his father in every way, in appearance and character except that Bawa was more considerate. He could take pity on others itcr hoodwinking them. Garba did not like him much "Really?" Sule asked. "I hope it will be all right if I go with you." "You don't have to," Bawa said. "You know if he takes more than expected, the master would know he took his milk." "It's not bad if we shared whatever Yakubu gives us with our fellows," Tanko said.
