Chapter 131 Surgery of Professional Athletes
Zhang Lin took the patient to the doctor's office.
The patient's name is Luo Xiaohu, male, 14 years old, the main player of the provincial youth football team, he plays football very well and is expected to enter the national youth team.
His parents looked anxious and pushed him in a wheelchair. Since the opening of the Comprehensive Orthopedics Department, the three patients he received were all pushed in wheelchairs.
Luo Xiaohu has loved playing football since he was a child and is very talented. His family has good financial conditions and is very supportive of him. He was once sent to Brazil for a year of intensive training. His parents have high hopes for him and they eagerly watched a football star emerge from their family and bring glory to their ancestors.
After professional athletes are injured, their requirements are different from those of ordinary people. They have higher requirements for functional recovery, and they are also familiar with doctors in the industry. Once injured, choose medical treatment carefully.
Injuries are inevitable when playing football. Every time Luo Xiaohu gets injured, even if his ankle is slightly sprained, he always takes a look. Especially after Dr. Su returned from studying abroad, Luo Xiaohu only saw Dr. Su and had great trust in Dr. Su.
After the injury in this game, the team doctor performed on-site treatment and immediately sent it to the attached 1st hospital to see Dr. Su. After seeing it, Dr. Su performed an MRI, which showed a grade three medial meniscus injury, requiring surgery.
A third-level injury is a tear. Luo Xiaohu's meniscus tear was quite serious. It was not an ordinary tear, but a compound tear. The tears were longitudinal, oblique, radial, and even in the shape of a flap. There were several tears, and it would be very difficult to sew these tears up.
Dr. Su is very good at arthroscopic surgery and studied under an international sports medicine master from the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, USA. However, Dr. Su has had too many surgeries recently and has been scheduled for two weeks.
The earlier the meniscus suturing surgery is performed, the better. Just like a wound, the sooner it is sutured, the better it will heal. After two to three weeks, it becomes an old tear, the success rate of healing will decrease, and the quality of healing will also decrease. In order to improve the probability of healing, it is necessary to freshen the wound, fill the wound edge with blood clot, etc. etc. to promote healing.
Waiting for two weeks is actually not a big deal, but it is difficult for Luo Xiaohu's parents to accept that he has to have surgery at the best time.
Luo Xiaohu's parents planned to fly to the Imperial Third Hospital, but they didn't know anyone there, so the wait might be longer. Even if they were admitted to the hospital, they might not be able to get the best doctor to operate.
So I asked Su Nanchen for help, how to perform surgery as soon as possible. Su Nanchen recommended them to come to Sanbo to see Yang Ping, saying that the surgery was better than his own. Luo Xiaohu's parents knew that this was modesty. There was no arthroscope in G city that could perform better than Su Nanchen's. However, since the one recommended by Su Nanchen must be a powerful figure in the industry, maybe he has recently returned from the United States.
Luo Xiaohu's parents did not dare to delay and immediately came to Sanbo Hospital to find Yang Ping.
When Yang Ping was having a meeting, Luo's father was reading Yang Ping's personal profile on the corridor wall. He was still very young and an attending physician. His profile was not outstanding at all and he had no experience of studying abroad.
The ward was empty again, which made Father Luo feel bad. Su Nanchen was also young, but different. He was the son of Professor Su, an expert in studying in the United States.
Could it be that Dr. Su just recommended a random doctor just to perfunctory himself? Impossible! Luo's father was hesitant. His son had a bright future and he must not let this meniscus injury affect his career prospects.
"Dr. Yang, Dr. Su recommended us to come to you and said that you are very knowledgeable in this area. You must have performed operations on many professional athletes, right?" Father Luo asked tentatively.
"Everyone's condition is unique!"
Yang Ping did not answer his question directly, and hung up the MRI: "The medial meniscus is seriously torn. It is a compound tear. The cracks are vertical, radial, oblique, and there is a flap. Lucky for you. The most important thing is that the 2 to 4 mm part of the attachment edge of the meniscus joint capsule is not torn, which is equivalent to the barrel hoop. As long as the barrel hoop is still there, the original normal function can be restored by inserting the wooden boards back one by one. Surgery, arthroscopic meniscal suturing, it is very difficult to suture this kind of tear perfectly, but we can do it.”
Although he was young, he spoke confidently and calmly, like a great professor with rich experience. Yang Ping's strong aura gave Father Luo a little more trust, and at least he had no intention of leaving.
"Thank you, we will be hospitalized immediately." Luo's father said that they seemed to have no better choice.
Zhang Lin issued a hospitalization notice to them and asked the nurse to arrange beds first and then complete the hospitalization procedures later.
Luo's father pushed Luo Xiaohu into the ward, and Luo's mother followed behind. He met the old lady with synovial chondromatosis in the corridor.
The old lady walked back and forth with the help of the walker. Sometimes she would lift the walker and try to walk by herself. When she saw Luo Xiaohu in the wheelchair, she said: "Another person who cannot be cured outside has come."
Dad Luo heard what Auntie said, what does it mean that it can't be cured outside?
"Auntie, are you hospitalized here?" Father Luo asked.
The aunt glared at him: "I'm not in the hospital. I don't have anything to do but wear patient clothes and exercise in the hospital?"
"I'm sorry, auntie, I mean what's your disease? Are you doing surgery here?" Father Luo wanted to find out something about her.
"I'm afraid of scaring you if I tell you about my illness. You'd better not ask. Seeing that you're carrying a bag of tablets, I'm afraid it's too serious and can't be cured outside. So you came to see Dr. Yang, right?" Auntie stopped exercising.
"How do you know?" Father Luo asked her.
"My friend's knee joints always hurt his legs. He had surgeries at Annex 2 and Annex 1, but it didn't work. He came here to see Dr. Yang for surgery. After the surgery, he immediately returned to normal. He was pushed into the operating room in a wheelchair. After the surgery, he walked out of the operating room. Come out." Auntie said unambiguously.
"Really? Is it that powerful?" Mother Luo was doubtful and wanted to get more information.
"I haven't walked for several months. After the operation this morning, I can walk with a walker after leaving the operating room." The old lady started practicing walking with a walker again.
Hermes happened to come out of the suite ward at the end of the corridor. He heard them chatting and interjected: "Oh, you came here right. I registered and waited for three months, and then lived near the hospital for three months, just to come here and wait for the professor to do it." For surgery, Professor Zhang from this hospital is well-known throughout the country. He suffered a fracture here and asked Dr. Yang to perform the surgery. After the surgery, he could walk normally the next day.”
Hermes touched his hip and gestured as he spoke. Father Luo was happy this time. This eldest brother looked like a rich man. He was a long-legged model girl pushing a wheelchair from behind. That was not something everyone had. Such a person was not short of money, so how could he go to the hospital randomly?
"This department has just been established. It specializes in difficult surgeries. The doctors are very good. Others can't do it, but we can do it here." Hermes said a word and was pushed away by his wife, leaving a smell of perfume in the corridor.
The couple took reassurance, the patients said so, and Dr. Su strongly recommended it. I believe Dr. Su would not recommend it randomly and ruin his own brand.
Father Luo felt that the distrust shown when they first met was very impolite. Although it was very subtle, it was still necessary to go out of his way to get closer.
After sending the child to the ward and settling Luo Xiaohu, Luo's father returned to the doctor's office. Yang Ping was talking to Song Zimo about surgical instruments.
"Hello, Dr. Yang!" Father Luo was very polite, with guilt hidden in his politeness.
"Hello, do you have anything else?" Yang Ping saw that he had something to say.
"I'll come over to sign for the surgery." Luo's father said casually and found an excuse. He had to sign anyway.
"Oh, Doctor Zhang will ask you to sign it later." Yang Ping was very busy and had no time to chat.
"Then I'll go back to the ward and wait. Thank you, Doctor Yang, please ask me tomorrow." Father Luo shook hands.
"Don't worry, we will do our best and let the child have a good rest tonight." Yang Ping gave him confidence.
Parents are really worried. Ever since their children learned to play football, they have been worried about their children being injured every day. This time, when their children were injured, they went to see Dr. Su. As a result, Dr. Su delayed the operation. In fact, Dr. Su said that the delay would not have much impact.
The impact is not big, but there is still some impact, and they cannot tolerate even the slightest impact. He wanted to go to the Imperial Third Hospital, but he didn't know who had the best surgery. Even if he got in in time, it might not be the best doctor who performed the surgery. This was related to the child's future sports career.
A meniscus touched the hearts of the whole family, and now the stone has finally fallen to the ground.
"Ding dong! Mission: Complete a meniscus suturing operation for a professional athlete. If the level is perfect, you can get 16,000 points. At the same time, you can gain a lot of trust in reality."
Now the threshold for real-life events to trigger system tasks is much higher, which means the task difficulty has increased. Trust is what Yang Ping needs most now.
Yang Ping recalled the magnetic resonance imaging of Luo Xiaohu he had just seen. This was a surgery for professional athletes. Any flaws would affect subsequent functions.
If it is not done well, it will affect subsequent patient trust; if it is done well, a certain trust score can be accumulated.
Based on the magnetic resonance images, Yang Ping constructed in his mind the image of Luo Xiaohu's knee joint, the image of the meniscus, and the image of the torn meniscus. Mentally simulate the meniscus suturing process and figure out the best way to suture it.
In meniscus surgery, the importance of the meniscus was not recognized in the past. All meniscus surgeries were performed by removing the entire meniscus.
Later, I gradually realized the importance of the meniscus. After meniscectomy, the degeneration and wear of the knee joint accelerated. The joints of a person in his thirties and forties are similar to those of a sixty-seven year old.
With the deepening of meniscus research, it is proposed to retain the meniscus and repair it as much as possible. Repair methods and instruments are also constantly improving, from the initial trocar to the meniscus arrow, and now to various disposable fully internal suturing instruments.
The so-called total internal suture does not require additional incisions in the skin and can be completed through two 0.5 cm small openings of the arthroscope.
The level and quality of suturing are also getting higher and higher, and the postoperative results are getting better and better.
Yang Ping imagined the operation in his mind, entered the system space, spent 10,000 points to purchase 500 meniscus suturing surgeries, and conducted special training.
After completion, leave the system space, go to the operating room to see the instruments, suture the first meniscus, and check the instruments yourself.
"This is a domestically produced instrument. It is kept in the surgery center. It is rarely used in the sports medicine department. I brought some more. I checked the seals and expiration dates. There are no problems. There are thirty needles here, which should be enough. ”
Xiao Su took Yang Ping to the sterile material warehouse to look at the equipment. The things inside were neatly organized. Each sterile package was placed on the shelf, centered on the left and right, and the front was just close to the edge.
The equipment is prepared by Xiaosu, so you can rest assured!
After looking at the equipment and returning to the ward, Song Zimo told Yang Ping: "The manager of our hospital from Ruixing Company is waiting in the interview room."
Yang Ping left Song Zimo in charge of the preparations for these surgeries.
When I came to the interview room, there was a girl sitting there, wearing a professional suit, with a fresh graduate look on her face.
Yang Ping felt that he looked familiar. He seemed to have seen this person somewhere.
