The Sports Healer Starting from Milan

The next afternoon in the ward.

"Have you completed all the pre-operative preparations?"

Lin Mu looked at the nurse.

"Everything is ready," the nurse replied quickly.

A while ago.

Lin Mu was still relatively unknown at the hospital, with an introverted personality like a block of wood, and he had little interaction with them.

He only focuses on his thesis every day.

Now, not only has the level of surgical skill improved significantly.

It has become even more... The nurse thought of many words, but felt that none of them were specific enough.

Anyway, he looks more manly.

"Okay, notify the operating room to prepare, and tell the anesthesiologist not to forget that it's local anesthesia. Bring me the MRI scans again so I can take a look."

There's really no need for Lin Mu to watch the film anymore.

But seeing the worry on Elena and her mother's faces, he still did this unnecessary thing.

"The surgery will be quick, don't worry, and the incision will be very small."

Lin Mu reassured him.

"I believe you, Dr. Wood." Elena looked up and gave a somewhat forced smile.

He's still just a child.

I still feel nervous about this kind of surgery that can affect my future.

"Um, are you sure you don't need general anesthesia? She has quite a few loose bodies in her knee joint, and some of them are quite deep..."

Today, Walker, Lin Mu's assistant, said somewhat hesitantly.

It's not that he doesn't trust Lin Mu.

In fact, this occurred after Christian Victor and Luca Bertini underwent ACL reconstruction surgery.

He then realized the gap between himself and Lin Mu.

"We already discussed this before the surgery, so you can just relax and be a good assistant."

Lin Mu smiled.

Once the operating room was ready, Elena was wheeled in and given local infiltration anesthesia inside her knee joint.

She remained conscious.

She could feel someone moving her knee.

"Number 12 knife."

Just as Lin Mu reached out his hand, the scrub nurse handed him a scalpel.

The timing, angle, and force with which the knife was handed over were all excellent.

He didn't need to reach for it; the hilt was already in his palm.

This made him look up in surprise.

The next second, the scalpel moved like a dragon, making a cut at the two small dots marked with a pen on the front of Elena's knee.

One anterolateral approach and one anteromedial approach.

"Can the camera even fit through such a small incision?" Walker was a little confused.

next second.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he saw Lin Mu move his right hand, and with a soft pop, the blunt-tipped tube gently pushed into the joint space.

It's like knowing the way.

The image on the screen also appeared.

"Intercondylar fossa, medial to the intercondylar fossa of the femur, contains two loose bodies."

Walker hadn't finished speaking.

The miniature gripper entered and struck without hesitation, without probing or repeated probing.

Walker even had a misconception.

Lin Mu didn't even look at the screen. Instead, he slightly twisted his wrist and pinched out the free body.

Two larger free bodies were placed on gauze next to Elena's legs.

It is milky white overall, with a few traces of blood.

Elena couldn't feel them being removed, but she inexplicably felt that her knee joints felt a little lighter.

Walker's mouth was still open.

The free-floating particles on the screen were being removed one by one at a speed he couldn't believe.

The scrub nurses were also stunned.

Sizzle! The remaining smaller free radicals were also sucked out by the wood planer.

Walker could only keep turning his head.

He looked at the screen and at the trees, and after several rounds, his neck didn't even feel sore.

Then Lin Mu said, "The synovium is undamaged, the cartilage is intact, and there are no loose bodies remaining. Withdraw the clamps."

"Sew it up".

Linmu handed over the final task to Walker.

"Oh, okay, 7-0 beauty line!" Walker immediately perked up and glanced back at his watch.

Lin Mu finished in about ten minutes.

The record for removing loose bodies from the knee joint at San Rafael Hospital is seventeen minutes.

I need to sew it up quickly.

Under this pressure, the two small wounds took three minutes to heal.

Walker gave an awkward smile after the stitches were done.

"Elena, the surgery is over, and we've gotten rid of those rats in your knee."

Lin Mu smiled gently.

"When will I recover?" Elena was getting sleepy.

"Hmm... Go home today to focus on reducing swelling and pain, then do ankle pump exercises, and strengthen the quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscles. You should be able to flex and extend your knee tomorrow, walk on your own the day after tomorrow, and be discharged the day after that."

Lin Mu explained in detail.

Elena nodded in surprise, and felt less sleepy.

"However, avoid any strenuous activities recently."

Lin Mu thought for a moment and then added, "I believe you will be an excellent ballet dancer. It's just that sometimes we have to wait a little longer. Think about it: when you're looking forward to a delicious meal, the longer you wait, the better it tastes."

"I think I'll definitely see you at La Scala someday."

Lin Mu rubbed Elena's head.

......

After the surgery, Lin Mu was still organizing materials about the third stage of Recoba and how to do rehabilitation.

Roberto Mochini suddenly walked in.

"You perform a 14-minute knee joint loose body removal procedure?"

His mind was a little foggy.

"The surgical records are here." Lin Mu handed over the files on the desktop.

Roberto Mochini quickly flipped through the pages.

The more I look at it, the more alarmed I become.

Because this is not a simple removal procedure.

Elena's loose body was stuck deep in the synovial folds on the inner side of the intercondylar fossa.

The location is very remote.

Her joint cavity is also narrower than normal.

The space available for manipulation after arthroscopy is inserted is inherently limited.

Moreover, the surface of the free body is smooth, making it easy to slip out when the gripper bites.

"If it were Stephen..." Roberto Mochini rarely performs such simple surgeries anymore.

"Actually, he can do it too, it just takes more effort."

Lin Mu shrugged.

Roberto Mochini, leaning on his chair, asked, "What else haven't you told me?"

"There might be quite a lot."

Lin Mu suddenly remembered something. "Teacher, could you help me find a few more patients with a history of competitive sports?"

to be frank.

He seemed to enjoy the surgery.

Roberto Mochini nodded. Their sports medicine college is under the orthopedics department, but compared to the orthopedics department, they have far fewer patients.

After all, most athletes go to the national team medical center after they get injured.

Their sports medicine college is essentially subject to the management of the orthopedics department, so their say is not very strong.

Roberto Mochini has been pushing for the independence of the sports medicine college in recent years.

In his view, sports medicine is not the same as general orthopedics; the concepts are very different.

In addition, he believes that professional sports will experience explosive growth in the future.

The demand for sports medicine will also increase accordingly.

just.

To become independent from orthopedics, they need to demonstrate their core competencies.

Surgical volume, medical quality and reputation, research papers, social resources, etc., are all necessary.

"No problem," Roberto Mochini readily agreed.
