A Go Public/Radio Canada investigation has found a controversial foot doctor was using experimental implants unapproved for surgery without patients' consent.
Now, many patients of Pierre Dupont are getting the implants removed.
"They are horrified," says Ottawa podiatrist David Greenberg, who has removed several of the implants, meant to correct flat feet.
"I'm horrified along with them. Every day I have people in my office crying about this."
The implants are modified copies of the HyProCure, a device which was approved by Health Canada in 2006, according to Greenberg and HyProCure inventor Michael Graham.
