Chapter 33 Martens' Ambition
"Causes of ACL relapse and revision strategies."
Martens hadn't finished speaking.
The venue became noisy.
The data released by Martens later showed that there was a 14% relapse rate within two years after ACL single-bundle reconstruction.
There are three main reasons.
The anatomical alignment was inaccurate, the bone tunnel was too large, and the lateral angle was not repaired.
His proposed renovation strategy.
The original bone tunnel is preserved, the small incision is revised, and the hamstring muscles are strengthened.
He also produced a medical record.
A defender for Royal Antwerp in Belgium has undergone ACL reconstruction surgery.
He was afraid to put force into the ball when kicking it.
The hamstrings showed significant improvement within five months after the hysterectomy and strengthening procedure.
But that wasn't what shocked everyone.
Instead, Martens is improving, or rather challenging, the standard for single-bundle reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament established by German physician Hans.
"He wants to replace Hans's position in the industry..."
Lin Mu murmured to himself.
This practice is common in the medical field.
After all, people are naturally inclined to seek profit and avoid harm. If a doctor wants to gain benefits, in addition to those shady incomes, he needs to control the discourse in the industry.
For example, inventing a technique or developing guidelines.
His improved single-bundle technique was so popular that doctors all over Europe had to learn it.
To establish technological hegemony.
Moreover, after he improves the surgical technique, will the corresponding positioning instruments, fixation nails and other consumables need to be selected again?
This is also a benefit that exceeds people's imagination.
In this way.
In the future, all Martens will need to do is hold the patent for the procedure and organize some specialized training courses for doctors from all over the world to study at his clinic.
You can make money just by lying down.
"This is the real purpose of this academic conference."
Lin Mu leaned back in his chair.
I was reminded of my new paper.
This means that he and Martens are now on opposite sides.
Because if dual-beam reconstruction is approved.
Martens' previous research, networking, and collaborations with medical device manufacturers will all be for naught.
But Lin Mu wasn't stupid enough to release him today.
First of all, he has never actually cured a patient using ACL double-bundle anatomical reconstruction.
Second.
Establishing or improving a surgical technique is not that simple.
There is still a lot of data to support this.
Lin Mu, who had been traveling through the forest, knew that he had learned in school that dual-beam ACL reconstruction would not be widely adopted until eight years later.
It has also been proven to be more effective than single-beam reconstruction.
Because he reconstructed the anterior medial cord and the posterior lateral cord in the same surgery.
It can greatly increase the rotational stability of the knee joint.
Professional players also recover faster.
"call."
Lin Mu took a deep look at the projection screen.
Martens wanted to master a procedure and establish clinical standards for ACL surgery.
How could I not want that too?
Moreover, there are huge profits involved.
After Martens finished explaining his research, it was time for San Rafael Hospital to speak.
Lin Mu walked onto the stage.
Compared to Martens' improved technique, his record-breaking ACL reconstruction was not as impressive.
After all, the surgical techniques will have to change in the future.
What does an old record matter?
When Lin Mu stepped down, he was stopped by Maltshurman.
The head of the Milan laboratory, who rose to prominence through massage techniques, raised an eyebrow and said, "Young people need to broaden their horizons."
Martens also came over.
"Who is this?"
He asked curiously.
"The young man who used to work in our lab is now very popular in the football world. Don't you know? Everyone says he cured Recoba."
Malthurman's tone was sarcastic.
Martens frowned slightly.
He felt that someone of Malthurman's stature wouldn't bother with a junior doctor.
It's somewhat inappropriate to mock someone in public.
However, Martens had indeed heard about Lin Mu's deeds. In Belgium, some people even compared themselves to Lin Mu, saying that the football world was about to have a fourth doctor who could create miracles.
But he didn't take it seriously.
At that moment, Martens raised his eyes and carefully examined the trees.
In fact, he shares some of the same ideas as Lin Mu.
That means the medical standards at the Milan laboratory are only average.
Take Redondo's case in 2000, for example.
Tonacini's unscientific training methods for Redondo led to his injury.
Subsequently, the Milan team doctor misdiagnosed his injury.
This is why he was absent for a long time.
Martens also privately said that the Milan laboratory was full of quacks.
But in public, their relationship is still great.
"Let's go first."
Martens didn't want to join Malthurman in mocking a junior doctor.
His focus should be on improving ACL reconstruction techniques.
"We'll meet again sometime," Malthurman said smugly, turning away with a victorious air.
Lin Mu's lips twitched.
He thought to himself that even Inzaghi and Nesta's conditions could be misdiagnosed.
Still so confident.
of course.
He does not deny that there are things to learn from the Milan laboratory.
The managers' methods were just disgusting.
Are you confident in your ability to reconstruct dual-beam ACL?
Roberto Mochini walked over and gently patted Lin Mu on the shoulder.
"have!"
Lin Mu looked directly into the teacher's eyes and answered earnestly.
"Then go ahead and do it. I'll coordinate things at the institute. If you need any resources, just ask Francesconi."
Roberto Mochini nodded.
He decided to take a big gamble with Lin Mu.
Won.
That would give the sports rehabilitation department the leverage to break away from orthopedics.
We lost?
He's just stepping down.
Lin Mu suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, smiled, and then walked towards Francesconi.
It's not that simple to initiate a new technique.
"You finish writing your paper, 'Anatomical Study of Dual-Bundle ACL Reconstruction,' and then I'll go to the hospital to apply for a special green channel for professional athletes."
Franceschini stroked his chin, deep in thought.
He knew without even thinking that the orthopedics department would object.
Why?
Because the entire Department of Orthopedics at San Rafael Hospital has long held a monopoly on discourse power through traditional single-bundle reconstruction and orthopedic surgery.
Several directors had also studied under Hans.
He can be considered a loyal follower of that faction.
Plus.
Dual-beam reconstruction has not been validated, and failure would not only consume a lot of resources but also potentially incur medical risks.
But from the hospital's perspective...
The first person to eat crab often gets to eat it with their mouth full of oil.
How tempting is it to establish the first dual-bundle reconstruction clinical base in all of Europe?
However, there are prerequisites.
Hospitals won't gamble on a completely new and unfamiliar surgical procedure out of thin air.
Funding, equipment procurement, ethical considerations, etc., all require Lin Mu to produce a professional study that can demonstrate promising prospects to the hospital's senior management.
"Okay." Lin Mu seemed to be thinking.
In fact, the advantages of dual-beam reconstruction can be demonstrated from both anatomical and biomechanical perspectives.
Moreover, there are sporadic individual cases.
There is no fixed standard.
What Lin Mu needs to do is simplify the surgical procedure and clarify some ambiguous technical specifications.
"This might require a grade 5 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery..."
He thought to himself.
