The Sports Healer Starting from Milan

Chapter 46 Raul, Choosing a good doctor is very important

This technology is banned in Italy.

Because if the injected fluid flows into the heart, it can cause serious problems.

But it can relieve pain.

The maximum number of injections was 6, but Redondo received 5, and his pain indeed disappeared.

It can be said.

Redondo did his best to play for at least two more years.

"I plan to retire at the end of November."

Redondo remained silent for a long time before speaking.

His tone was unexpectedly calm; he had already succumbed to fate.

In fact, he was preparing to retire after leaving Milan last season.

But on a whim, he went to Chacarita, an amateur club in the Spanish suburbs.

I rushed to Milan yesterday after hearing about Raul's situation.

"Yeah?"

Raul didn't know what to say to comfort Redondo.

The two of them quietly looked out the window.

"Raul, choosing a good doctor is very important, really very important..."

A hint of resentment flashed in Redondo's eyes.

He couldn't believe how well Recoba had performed recently.

But the more he inquired, the more he learned about ACL double-bundle reconstruction, meniscus repair... the more he looked at it, the more distressed he felt.

If he had met Lin Mu back then, what would things be like now?

Redondo didn't know.

I don't even dare to think about it.

He was afraid that the more he thought about it, the more resentful he would become.

"Dr. Wood is a good doctor. I'll come see you again in a few days. Take good rest."

Fearing he would lose control of his emotions, Redondo said goodbye to Raul and left in a disheveled state.

Raul sat on his sickbed until sunset.

......

The next day.

"Preoperative swelling reduction is very important. I'll take care of it for you first, and you'll be ready for surgery the day after tomorrow."

Lin Mu pressed his hands on Raul's left knee.

"We still can't accurately pinpoint the location of the blood clot, so how can you know that the optimal conditions for surgery will be met the day after tomorrow?"

Dr. Corral transformed into a walking encyclopedia of questions, asking one hundred thousand "whys."

"Just because you don't understand doesn't mean others don't understand either?"

Franceschini pushed him away.

Lin Mu just smiled and said, "Let me tell you the specifics of the surgery. First, for the lateral meniscus, we will use layered suturing. We will also remove a certain amount of the white area, but it's not a large area, so don't worry."

"Secondly, it involves reinforcing the ACL fibers that have been torn. In your case, you don't need to rebuild the entire ACL. You only need to clean the necrotic and torn areas and take a portion of the hamstring tendon for implantation."

"The difficulty lies in the repair of the posterior lateral bundle complex because the arthroscopic field of view is relatively narrow, but it is only a little troublesome."

The more Lin Mu spoke, the more alarmed Dr. Coral became.

In the few words Lin Mu said.

If you can master just one of these skills, you won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life.

Lin Mu also plans to complete the entire procedure in one surgery.

Is the "unfortunate triad" in orthopedics really that easy to solve?

Raul listened in a daze.

Although I can't understand it.

But it seems pretty impressive.

Lin Mu didn't offer any further explanation and led the group of doctors back to the conference room.

"Several challenges in the surgery."

He stood in front of the projector and said, "First, the tunnel space in the fibular head is extremely small, making it easy to fracture; second, the tension in the three areas needs to be adjusted independently, but they also affect each other; third, the graft needs to be fixed at three points under the same tension."

"..."

Lin Mu recounted many details.

This surgery was indeed very difficult.

In addition to the three points mentioned above, there are also risks such as surgical approach conflicts and peroneal nerve injury.

You could say that every step had to be perfect.

For example, if the common peroneal nerve is accidentally injured.

The consequence is foot drop.

Raul's professional career can now come to an end.

"I'm probably the only one in the world who can perform this surgery..."

Lin Mu also felt a lot of pressure.

I was also very excited.

This made him think about it carefully for a long time in his office.

the next day.

He didn't even attend Inter Milan's match against Parma.

Inter Milan still won.

However, players like Recoba and Zanetti performed only moderately, bringing him just over fifty experience points.

It's not enough to upgrade to meniscus repair surgery.

Day three.

Before Raul was wheeled into the operating room, he still felt uncertain. "Will I really be alright?"

"Surgery carries certain risks, but I will avoid them as much as possible."

Lin Mu shook his head.

No doctor would dare to make a 100% guarantee in front of a patient.

Raul gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, remembering the words Redondo had left him.

Lin Mu gestured to the nurse to push the person inside.

"Can I come in?!"

A voice came from the end of the corridor. It was Fu Haoqiang, panting. "I went back to the institute to get a certificate to come for further studies. I just arrived a few days early. I'll have to take care of my own food and lodging."

It's a pity he's over fifty years old.

I'm usually treated like royalty at any hospital, but at San Rafael Hospital... it felt like I was back in my graduate school days.

"Can."

Lin Mu nodded.

Fu Haoqiang was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Today he is about to witness history again: the unfortunate triad in orthopedics is usually treated separately.

The timber needs to be addressed all at once.

Tsk tsk... If those colleagues who returned to China knew this, they'd probably be so angry they'd slap their thighs until they were swollen.

After Fu Haoqiang changed into his scrubs and entered the operating room.

Raul has finished his anesthesia.

"Conflicts in surgical approaches are easily resolved."

Lin Mu then made a move.

Because meniscus sutures need to be performed arthroscopically.

Lateral lateral cord reconstruction requires an incision on the outside of the knee joint.

Since both share the same area, their operating spaces interfere with each other, and their equipment may collide with each other.

Therefore, the surgical order needs to be changed.

First, suture the meniscus, then leave the incision unsutured before making the lateral incision.

The stability of the meniscus suture was observed directly through the lateral incision.

If anything happens.

It can also be used to repair sutures.

It was similar to the situation when we performed surgery on Mattel before.

Lin Mu first used a probe to reposition the displaced meniscus stem from the intercondylar fossa back to its original position.

Then, a full internal encircling suture was chosen.

Because Raul was a football player.

The demands on the knee joints are even higher than those of skiers.

Once the torn edges are completely sealed.

Fu Haoqiang gasped. No matter how many times he saw it, he still found it unbelievable.

Such anatomical alignment is too difficult to achieve.

Next was the reconstruction of the anterior medial ligament. Lin Mu chose another surgical method, which was to preserve the original ligament remnant and reshape the anterior medial ligament into a "long sleeve" shape.

In this way.

The stump wrapped with the graft can provide blood supply and a source of proprioceptive nerves.

in short.

Raul can retain his original feeling and does not need to relearn how to control his knee joint, so his postoperative recovery is naturally much faster.

Complete this step.

Lin Mu rested for five minutes.

The next step is the repair of the posterolateral complex posterior lateral bundle.

That's also the most difficult part.

"Three bone tunnels..."

Lin Mu carefully drilled the hole.

Even if he can see it.

I feel immense pressure right now because the space is just too small.

The others didn't dare to utter a sound.

Lin Mu's vision blurred after the three bone tunnels were opened, and he rested for a while before the tendon was removed.

Split the Achilles tendon longitudinally into a Y-shape.

This graft was used to restore three structures.

That is, one of the bundles of reconstructed hamstring tendons.

Another bundle reconstructs the lateral collateral ligament and popliteal ligament.

Adjusting the tension took a lot of time because they needed to be adjusted independently, yet they affected each other.

We can only do it little by little.

If it weren't for the fact that my "knee cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery" reached level five.

I'm afraid we won't be able to find a balance.

"Intraoperative testing..."
