Chapter 83 McGrady
After reading the news, Lin Mu twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand.
Snapped!
He then placed the ballpoint pen on the table and began checking McGrady's medical history.
The United States is very good at uncovering news about basketball stars.
He found the relevant information on the website of a magazine called Health Fitness Sports Magazine.
Are you a patient with congenital scoliosis?
Lin Mu raised an eyebrow.
This type of scoliosis, especially at a considerable angle, has a significant impact on athletes.
Even before the draft, doctors predicted that McGrady's career would only last five to six years.
The cause is also abnormal spinal structure.
The NBA-level repetitive jumps, stops, contact, and sprints will only exacerbate McGrady's situation.
If it accumulates to a certain extent, it will cause even more serious problems to erupt.
Just imagine.
When your spine is curved in scoliosis, there is also rotation in the lumbar spine.
You are over two meters tall.
Every jump, landing, and change of direction felt like twisting a bent stick.
That is, the spine.
This asymmetrical mechanical structure forces the lower back to compensate.
Over time, the physiological lordosis of the lumbar spine is disrupted.
The resulting decrease in core stability and reduced explosive power... what this means for a basketball player is self-evident.
According to reports, McGrady is currently receiving treatment at the Special Surgery Hospital in New York.
Given the current level of medical care.
Lin Mu shook his head.
Three-dimensional spinal correction combined with short segment fusion is too difficult.
It carries significant risks and can severely damage athletic performance.
Lin Mu estimates that only conservative treatment for acute lumbar spasm and lumbar facet joint dysfunction can be provided.
Similar to his previous treatment of Isinbayeva in the restaurant.
"I can't have a complete corrective surgery right now."
The trees were talking to themselves.
He currently has over 200 experience points, and most of the spinal-related surgical procedures are advanced surgeries.
The experience points are simply not enough.
"We can first correct the lateral curvature angle, minimize the number of fusion segments, and preserve motor function."
Lin Mu subconsciously began to think.
Continue browsing related news.
McGrady had previously undergone surgery.
Simple lumbar discectomy and nerve root decompression.
In other words, only the herniated nucleus pulposus is removed, the facet joint is partially removed, and the compressed nerve is released.
This only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.
It can relieve pain and allow you to continue playing, that's true, but the fundamental problem of scoliosis hasn't been solved at all.
"This is too difficult."
Lin Mu glanced at the skill tree.
Lumbar vertebral root screw placement, spinal bone grafting, posterior lumbar laminectomy, scoliosis vertebral rotation rod correction, etc.
Only by mastering everything can McGrady be completely cured.
"Wouldn't this kind of experience be incredibly valuable?"
Lin Mu's teeth felt a little sore.
But a wave of emotion also surged within me.
Since there's a cheat code...
If we don't tackle the most difficult diseases, wouldn't we be wasting the system?
......
It was too late to study McGrady's case yesterday.
When Lin Mu woke up the next day, he still had dark circles under his eyes.
Fu Haoqiang looked a little nervous. "Are you alright?"
"Don't worry, it won't affect today's meeting."
Lin Mu yawned.
He asked Pata to get him a cup of Italian coffee to wake him up.
bitter!
Lin Mu frowned after taking a sip of coffee.
No matter how many times you drink it.
He still wasn't used to it.
"Let's go."
Lin Mu seemed much more energetic. He followed Fu Haoqiang and took a car to the Rockefeller University conference room.
The audience was packed.
There were even many people standing outside the door.
Lin Mu noticed many Asian faces, and he nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "Hello."
"Hello, Dr. Lin!"
Many of the Chinese students who came to the United States to study responded proudly.
Look at the current state of international medicine.
Taking orthopedics as an example, although it is ostensibly a Sino-US orthopedic collaboration, it is more about American experts going to China to give lectures.
Those American experts, in the end, still look down on them.
Not to mention the setting of standards.
There are quite a few Chinese-American medical experts in the United States.
For example, Fu Haoqiang and others.
But they are exemplary figures who were nurtured and developed in the United States.
What about the trees?
He had never been involved in American academia and instead set standards through a strong technical approach.
At this moment, the room outside the conference room was packed with Chinese students from schools such as Columbia University Medical Center and Cornell University Medical Center.
There are also international students from other majors who come here because of its reputation.
A reporter from the Yenching University Journal is currently writing the first draft of the title in his notebook.
Dr. Lin Mu's trip to the US has revolutionized the gold standard for ACL double-bundle reconstruction, and he will become a spiritual icon for Chinese students studying abroad...
Lin Mu took a deep breath.
He could also feel the warmth of his compatriots.
He only realized it then.
He is not just a sports medicine doctor, but also shoulders a much deeper responsibility.
The meeting began quickly.
The team leaders from San Rafael and the University of Pittsburgh spoke first.
Lin Mu sat in the first row, next to Mandelbaum.
In other words, they are reviewers for AJSM.
A friend of the teacher.
Next door were FDA device reviewers, AAOS observers, and personnel from third-party data monitoring agencies.
There were quite a lot of people there anyway.
"Hello, Mr. Mandelbaum," Lin Mu greeted him politely.
"Mochini has a good student."
Mandelbaum was truly envious.
He originally thought that after the paper was published, Lin Mu would need some time to refine it before perfecting the ACL dual-bundle reconstruction technique.
I didn't expect that clinical trials could begin so quickly.
The advanced training course at Saint Raphael has also started its second session.
He had previously asked several orthopedic elites who had gone for further training, and the feedback he received was all "Dr. Wood is amazing".
The two talked for a while about Roberto Mochini.
Before long, Lin Mu saw the host waving at him, and he knew it was time for him to go on stage.
Standing in the conference center that brings together global orthopedic elites, especially experts in the field of knee joints.
Lin Mu smiled slightly and began to speak in a humble yet assertive manner.
Thank you all for coming to New York.
"Today we're going to discuss how to use high-quality clinical evidence to get the value of ACL double-bundle reconstruction recognized by the global orthopedic community."
"......"
From the opening remarks to the theoretical review, then to the preliminary data, as well as the experimental design and controversies.
Lin Mu spoke eloquently.
The doctors from various hospitals in the audience had different expressions.
Some admired him, some were unconvinced, and some even harbored jealousy.
"Finally, I am honored to witness the commencement of this multicenter clinical trial with you all."
Lin Mu nodded slightly.
His segment wasn't over yet; after the speech, there would be a discussion.
Someone raised their hand and asked, "Dr. Wood, the learning curve for dual-beam reconstruction is too long. Is it possible that differences in doctors' skills are being mistaken for differences in treatment outcomes?"
What does this sentence mean?
Your surgical skills are excellent.
Therefore, the recovery effect of the treated patients is better than that of the patients who underwent single-bundle reconstruction surgery.
"Biomechanics doesn't lie."
Lin Mu had written it very clearly in his paper, but he still patiently explained it to the other party.
