NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 28: Bone Lengthening Surgery
No wonder this brat said to wait until the consultation is over, this proves that he is very confident in his medical skills.

The current situation also proves that his confidence is not unfounded. He is the only one who diagnosed Oden's leg length difference!
This immediately amazed everyone.

At this time, Robert also whispered in the president's ear:

"On the way here, I saved a child with him, so I was delayed in picking up Mr. Robbie. You will know from the news tomorrow that he performed emergency surgery on the child at the station."

Larry Miller said unexpectedly:
"Wow, this boy is so talented! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"If I don't tell you, everyone knows this, right?"

Robert smiled, because he had been listening carefully to the conversation between Jiang Ming and Ma Fei just now. It seemed that he had just been fired, so was there a chance to recruit him? So he quickly helped to speak well of him in front of the president!
But in fact, the president had already sent an offer to Jiang Ming, but Jiang Ming did not sign it.

Larry was originally just planning to add some different backup forces to the team medical team, and Jiang Ming was definitely not someone who belonged to Jensen's small group. Unexpectedly, he really had something.

So after "sending off" Maffei, Larry signaled for silence:
"Now that the problem has been discovered, let me ask Dr. Jiang, how should it be treated?"

Now everyone fell silent and looked at the young Jiang Ming, waiting for his treatment plan.

Oden's agent also sat down and crossed out the XX for Jiang Ming.

Regardless of the treatment plan, being able to discover problems that no one else has discovered is already a thumbs up from an amateur like the agent, so he decided to approve it!

But now I am more looking forward to Jiang Ming's treatment plan.

Doctors can both discover problems and solve them.

Jiang Ming picked up the microphone and replied:
"I believe everyone has seen Oden's film. His ligament elasticity, knee joint muscle group, and bone strength are all well maintained. Now the right knee is more severely worn out, and there will be persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, limited function or joint stiffness."

"And there's a little bit of capsular laxity in the right ankle, am I right, Oden?"

Oden nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Ming continued:
"The cartilage is already damaged, and my right leg is 2 centimeters shorter, so the blood circulation is disrupted all the time. Over time, it will lead to localized muscle atrophy, so it must be treated immediately."

Jiang Ming mentioned a few key words in traditional Chinese medicine, which directly raised the level.

“Give me a month.”

"and many more!"

When Jiang Ming said he would give him a month, Yan Sen stood up and interrupted him:
"One month? Are you kidding? What can you change in this month? If it's really a simple injury, will it take a month to recover?"

The vice president next to him also nodded:
"Yes, conservative treatment means you can play while receiving it. If you need to recuperate for a month, wouldn't surgery be better? Now many NBA players can return to the game within a week after surgery. Their body's ability to recover is far superior to that of ordinary people."

Robbie also expressed his opinion:

"Yes, and the surgery can also change the length of the legs at the same time. Bone lengthening and limb lengthening surgery are also very mature now."

Lisa also said:
"Yes, right knee arthroscopy can be performed at the same time as limb lengthening surgery, and both are minimally invasive surgeries.
In clinical practice, the specific method of treating leg disparity with limb lengthening surgery is to cut the tibia and fibula of the shorter leg with an osteotome, then press a fixed brace on the outside of the leg, and then stretch it at a rate of 1 mm per day. Finally, fix it to achieve the therapeutic effect, but the fixation time is usually longer.

But it’s a one-step solution, and I won’t have to worry about wear and tear due to uneven legs anymore.”

Seeing that the two other team leaders both suggested surgery, Jensen nodded:
"We are very grateful that you discovered the length of my legs. Now it seems that surgery is necessary to fix it once and for all, right?
To be honest, I don’t think it’s credible that you can cure leg length discrepancy in one month. If it’s one month, I can try to walk upright after the surgery.”

Jiang Ming shook his head and said:
"Then you don't understand Chinese medicine very well. If you want to get better and cure the root cause, you must start with your daily rest and diet.
Combined with bone correction, acupuncture and moxibustion, moxibustion and other methods, the leg length difference can be completely cured step by step. So one month is necessary. " "One month is enough for the leg length difference?"

Robert was also confused by what Jiang Ming said about bone setting and acupuncture. It's not like you can restore your right leg to the same length by just pulling it every day.

"That's totally fine. Just cooperate with my treatment."

Jiang Ming has already said it simply enough. If he were a doctor from a Chinese hospital, he would have to explain it in detail at this time:

For example, you should pay attention to rest in your daily life, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, avoid taking spicy and irritating foods, do not smoke or drink, and you can supplement more collagen.

You can use corresponding drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, such as glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, etc.
These are the basics, coupled with Jiang Ming's thousands of years of skills, so one month is still a safe bet.

But apparently none of the doctors present believed him. After all, these words were difficult to understand when spoken in English, and they sounded like the misleading words that the Chinese doctors in their local Chinese clinics would say.

You have to know that few of the people working in Chinese medicine clinics abroad have real skills. The main reason is that foreigners are not very accepting of Chinese medicine and no one believes in it at all.

Therefore, those who open traditional Chinese medicine clinics usually just deceive the local Chinese. When they find that they cannot cure the disease, they eventually go to Western medicine for treatment, which inevitably leads to a round of complaints about how incompetent traditional Chinese medicine is.

Over time, Western doctors' views on traditional Chinese medicine have become increasingly negative.

So Jiang Ming kept talking in short sentences, but he didn't expect that no one believed him.

Jiang Ming was quite helpless, mainly because no one had ever seen or used what he said. Even Jiang Muyan, who came from the neighboring Korean country, obviously knew nothing about it.

Oden: “Well, I’d love to.”

Agent: "Yes, we can try it for a week. After all, I think this doctor knows Oden's condition very well."

Now Oden and Oden's agent are very eager to give it a try.

Because as a player he is actually able to accept trial and error, after all he is an employee.

I have already signed a rookie contract and received my salary. I can get the salary whether I play or not. So it would definitely be better to play after my body recovers, and I will get the same amount of money.

He signed a four-year rookie contract, and the contract year is three years away, so there is no rush to play in this month.

The ones who are anxious are the Trail Blazers. With 15 regular season games in a month, they are likely to lose at least 10 games without Oden. If they lose like this at the beginning of the season, they can forget about making the playoffs.

So Jiang Ming's words actually made Larry and other management personnel lean towards surgery.

After all, if surgery is performed, the difference in leg length can be cured immediately. Wouldn't it be a permanent solution? It is no longer just a matter of knee wear and tear.

As soon as Oden finished speaking, seeing that no one in the management team was talking to Jiang Ming, Jensen said confidently:

"Actually, if we want to try it, a week is definitely not enough. Dr. Jiang said it would take a month. In my opinion, I should schedule the surgery tomorrow. After all, there are so many experts on site who can provide the best clinical advice.

Or we can give Dr. Jiang one day. If Oden can play in the home game tomorrow night, we can give you a month to carry out conservative treatment. What do you think? "
