External fixation can also be used for pelvic fractures.
This is particularly surprising.
Fractures of limbs, clavicle, and ribs are all fine. External fixation is the most common method.
However, external fixation is also used for pelvic fractures, which makes people uneasy.
After hearing the news, few experts and professors from the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and the Municipal Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital believed it.
Pelvic fractures in the elderly are often treated conservatively. It is not called external fixation. It is called giving up treatment and letting the patient fend for himself.
External fixation? How to fix it?
"They put it in plaster."
"Gypsum fixation?"
"Yes, they adopt a special shape. Once fixed, they do not affect bowel movements or sleep."
"..."
I have nothing to say.
In the office of the vice president of the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, the vice president of operations was listening to the report from the director of the Department of Orthopedics. They sent people to Antai Hospital for an on-site inspection.
"Is it really painless?"
"Yes, there is slight swelling and numbness, but no other discomfort."
"This is a big problem. Competitors."
The Orthopedics Department of the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is very famous. They form a tripartite situation with the affiliated hospitals and the Municipal Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
Their surgical capabilities are definitely worse than those of affiliated hospitals, but they rely on traditional osteopathic treatments and have won praise from many patients.
The provincial hospital of traditional Chinese medicine has a total of only 1,000 beds, of which 480 are occupied by orthopedics. There are a total of 9 departments. The departments are divided very finely. For example, the upper limbs are divided into hand surgery, forearm surgery, and upper arm surgery.
Very detailed, very precise and very professional.
Doctors do not cross specialties. Those who perform hand surgery do not do upper arm surgery, let alone leg fractures.
Almost 50% of their beds are for orthopedics, and 56% of their business income also comes from orthopedics. Orthopedics is their food bowl.
Now that a painless bone-setting method has appeared in Antai Hospital, it would be strange if they were not shocked.
They are highly nervous.
They sent a doctor to Antai Hospital to understand the situation.
The situation is more serious than expected.
Patients who have had external fixation rate it highly.
……
The city’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is also very nervous.
Their number of orthopedic beds is slightly less, 360, and they are ranked third.
One-third of their business revenue comes from orthopedics.
They are very nervous.
"Painless bone-setting method" is mentioned in textbooks, but has actually been lost. In the eyes of Chinese medicine practitioners, it is a supreme skill.
He has two "musts".
First, it is painless.
In ancient times, there was no anesthetic and no pain, which was an absolute advantage.
The second "absolute" is bone setting itself.
There is no unified standard for the inheritance of bone setting. Different masters have different techniques and the final results are also different.
The legendary "painless bone-setting method" is a "unique skill" among all the bone-setting sects.
Painless and unique techniques are the two advantages of "painless bone-setting method".
It's painless. Every hospital has a way to do it. Can't it just be done with anesthesia?
Painlessness is not the point.
The point is that Liu Muqiao’s bone-setting method is not comparable to ordinary bone-setting methods.
It has been proven.
The "spy" from the city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital came back and reported that Antai Hospital performed external fixation on a patient with a pelvic fracture. The method of fixation was really fantastic and ingenious.
It has been fixed successfully and does not affect your life.
This is terrible. This illustrates a problem. The bone-setting method mastered by Liu Miqiao is more advanced than what is mastered by all hospitals now.
"We must pay close attention to the trends of Antai Hospital. We ourselves must be prepared for danger in times of peace. On the one hand, we must improve our standards, on the other hand, we must improve our services. On the third hand, we must strengthen emotional ties with other hospitals." The dean gave special instructions at the office meeting.
……
Since Liu Muqiao discovered the "Painless Bone Setting Method", he has performed more than 20 bone setting and external fixation procedures. Among them, the most valuable one was for pelvic fractures.
It can be seen from the X-ray film that there are several fracture lines in the pelvis, as well as deformation of the pelvis.
Liu Muqiao pondered for a moment, and a special three-dimensional external fixation pattern appeared in his mind, which could fix the pelvis well.
He followed the bone-setting method to first return the pelvis to its correct shape, and then used figure-8, figure-6 and other fixation methods to fix the pelvis properly.
This method is very clever.
Director Tao, Dr. Chang, Dr. Fan, Li Hua, Zhong Mingliang and others almost dropped their jaws.
This fixation method is really amazing.
In particular, Liu Miqiao's bone-setting techniques are very unique. With one squeeze, one press, and one twist, the pelvis returns to its original position.
"Brilliant!"
They all cheered secretly.
As for the problem of pain, Liu Muqiao no longer uses mazumu resin. He uses regular painless methods and presses a few specific acupoints. The patient only feels a little bloated and numb.
This is the seventh day that Liu Muqiao has mastered the "Painless Bone Setting Method".
He has performed twenty-three external fixations.
The number of patients is increasing.
Liu Muqiao accepted the applications of two doctors, who hoped to switch jobs to the Orthopedics Department of Antai Hospital.
Liu Muqiao gave them half a month to adapt, which was actually to test their abilities.
Antai Hospital needs orthopedic surgeons to perform surgeries, but Director Tao and his colleagues are not strong enough. Besides, as business increases in the future, a large number of doctors will also need to be recruited.
This time, two deputy chief doctors came for the trial, one from the Department of Orthopedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the other from the Department of Pathology and Orthopedics, the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Pathological orthopedics refers to orthopedic diseases such as femoral head necrosis and tumors.
This person's job change can be said to be a timely help. Antai Hospital's Department of Pathology and Orthopedics has not yet developed much. In the future, as the business expands, the Department of Pathology and Orthopedics will definitely be the first to become an independent department.
……
Dean Pi’s eyes turned into lines with laughter.
He wants to make an agreement with Liu Muqiao. As the business of orthopedics grows, he will take part of the profits and hand them over to Liu Muqiao's studio.
Liu Muqiao refused.
It’s not that Liu Muqiao is a high-level person, it’s that he doesn’t care about the slight growth of orthopedics at all. His vision is that at least the orthopedics department should reach the level of an affiliated hospital.
The orthopedics department of the affiliated hospital has a total of 500 beds, including trauma orthopedics, spine orthopedics, orthopedics, etc. Their best expertise is spine surgery and orthopedics.
They have a complementary relationship with the Orthopedics Department of the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
The provincial traditional Chinese medicine hospital focuses on limb orthopedics.
Liu Muqiao knew that in the future, Antai Hospital would not have to worry about having no patients with broken limbs, and many patients would come in for the "painless bone-setting method".
However, Liu Muqiao is interested in another area, spine surgery and joint replacement, which are disciplines that represent the direction of advanced technology.
Fractures of limbs, or "painless bone setting", are just very basic orthopedics, and can even be said to be a gimmick to attract customers.
Liu Muqiao calmed down and thought about it, "painless bone setting" is indeed a good thing, and it is also an heirloom for the future development of Antai Hospital. However, to be fair, without "painless bone setting", patients can still receive treatment.
Spine surgery and joint replacement require high-level doctors to complete.
At Antai Hospital, you have to walk on two legs, one is a "painless bone-setting method" and the other is a high-level surgery of modern medicine.
