After seeing the arthroscopic pit microcarving, Robert regretted it.
I regret that I set off in a hurry and didn’t bring any decent gifts.
In the next few days, Robert became more and more curious about the Department of Orthopedics, because it was completely different from their hospital.
The most important indications for surgery are different. Some patients who are considered to have no surgical value or even are relatively contraindicated for surgery have become indications for surgery here.
These patients are scattered everywhere in the corridor. They wear braces, undergo postoperative gait training, and often gather together to communicate with each other.
Among them, many patients undergoing multi-ligament reconstruction of shoulder and knee joints are mostly professional athletes, including football and basketball players.
No matter whether it is doctors, nurses, or patients, they seem to have no understanding of the difficulty of this kind of surgery, and they do not feel as if they are facing a formidable enemy. It is no different from ordinary patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
On the second day after surgery, these patients were allowed to walk freely in the corridor with braces, and they walked to the recovery room on their own for rehabilitation training.
With Zhang Lin's permission, Robert conducted stability tests on several patients undergoing multi-ligament reconstruction of the knee joint. Whether it was a freehand examination or a KT2000 test, the stability was very good, and returning to competition in the future would not be a problem at all. p>
Robert felt like he had traveled to a parallel world. If it hadn't been for a magical paper, he would have never known that there were such doctors and such technology in China on the west coast of the Pacific.
Watching Song Zimo perform the surgery for several days in a row, Robert felt a little ashamed. The assistant's level was actually not lower than his own, and even the level of shoulder and knee multi-ligament reconstruction was completely beyond his own level.
Today, we can finally see Dr. Yang Ping performing the surgery. Robert followed everyone to the operating room early.
How could Director Gao be absent when Yang Ping was undergoing surgery? He hurriedly arrived before the operation started.
Now, under the guidance of Yang Ping, Lao Gao's technology has advanced rapidly, whether it is multi-ligament reconstruction of knee joints or shoulder joints. In time, it will be a matter of time before he will enter the forefront of the country.
Director Gao quietly walked into the operating room. He was used to this. Robert greeted the old Gao who came in in blunt Chinese: "Hello!"
Everyone was wearing hats and masks and couldn't see their faces, but when he saw these European and American eyes, Lao Gao felt that this person looked familiar, and he couldn't remember who it was for the moment.
Back then, Director Gao worked as a visiting scholar at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York for a year and met several foreigners. He always felt that this person's eyes looked familiar.
Maybe they are here to study again. The Japanese are here, and it is not strange for a Yankee or a European to come.
The foreigners all looked the same, so Director Gao didn't have time to investigate. He was familiar with the road, found the best viewing angle, and occupied the position in advance.
Robert found that Lao Gao's position was very good and safe. It was very convenient whether he was looking at the screen or on the operating table, so he stood against Lao Gao.
Director Gao has no intention of giving up his seat. It’s okay to squeeze in. They are all here to learn, first come, first served. Who told him not to take the initiative? He came so early and wandered around the operating room.
Lao Gao has now mastered the basic techniques of this type of surgery and has started to fine-tune the ligament balance.
There are currently a large number of such patients, and with Yang Ping providing technical guidance and guidance, Lao Gao has made very rapid progress.
If he works harder and learns how to fine-tune the ligament balance, he will join the ranks of the best in the country. If he accumulates more surgical experience, he will probably be ranked among the first in the world for this type of surgery alone.
After the preparations for the operation were completed, Yang Ping took over the camera and started the operation.
This racing-like speed of surgery made this New York gentleman’s eyes widen. He was really worried that his eyeballs would be ejected due to excessive force.
Not to mention the operation under the microscope, the carving of the fruit core prevented Robert from returning to normal thinking for several days.
For anterior and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, no positioning tools are needed. Holes and tunnels are made directly on the tibia and femur with bare hands. In this way, the starting and ending points of the ligaments can be very precise.
Whether it is a posteromedial structure or a posterolateral structure, the origin and end of the complicated ligaments are as simple as drawing a line in Yang Ping's hand.
Robert stood outside the yellow line. The forward body blocked Director Gao's field of vision. Moreover, this foreigner was a bit selfish. He squeezed in a little, and Lao Gao kindly stepped aside. As a result, this guy pushed forward and kept encroaching on Lao Gao's space.<
/p>
Lao Gao was a little dissatisfied, pushed Robert away and stood back to his position.
Robert was excited by what he saw. With his tall and strong body, he moved his body slightly and squeezed Lao Gao away again, as if he was doing it with confidence.
Gao Gao got angry, but the size difference was too big, and he couldn't squeeze him out. He immediately called Zhang Lin: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang!"
Zhang Lin heard Director Gao shouting: "Director Gao, what's wrong?"
"International friends, what's going on? You're a new student here? Why don't you have any discipline and are always crowded?" Lao Gao complained.
Zhang Lin glanced at it. They were standing together just now, and now Robert occupies the position alone, which is indeed a bit bullying.
"Robert, discipline! Obey the discipline! Otherwise I have the right to ban you from entering the operating room." Zhang Lin warned Robert seriously.
I don’t care whether you are from Japan or the United States. In my territory, you must obey the rules, otherwise I will scold you without any discussion.
Robert immediately moved away a little, pointing his chin at the vacant position, meaning I admit defeat, leave half of it here for you, and continue to observe the operation with your eyes.
Seeing the seriousness with which the Japanese helped Zhang Lin make tea, Robert could guess that this teaching secretary had great power. Just like the New York Hospital for Special Surgery, all trainees were under his control.
He can grant or prohibit the trainees from carrying out certain actions, and can even recommend to the hospital that the trainees be dismissed.
Robert?
No way? Why are you so familiar with this foreigner’s figure and voice? Couldn’t he be Robert from New York?
The teacher taught by Director Gao at that time was another attending doctor, Robert Corey. Robert was the director of the department and the academic leader. How could Lao Gao not know him?
I actually met Dr. Robert in the operating room. Anyone who is serious about sports medicine would not know Robert. He is the president of the North American Society of Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy and the director of the Department of Sports Medicine at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.
Why is he here? Old Gao Zheng is confused.
This guy stood outside the yellow line, his feet touched the yellow line, but did not cross the yellow line, and did not blink his eyes.
My eyes switch back and forth between the operating table and the screen, just like when I was observing the surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.
"Robert from the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York?" Director Gao asked Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin nodded: "I came here a few days ago to learn surgery from Dr. Yang."
You can be sure that it is him, playboy Robert. No matter who he is now, Director Gao has no time to strike up a conversation and continues to observe quietly.
Even if the President of the United States is standing here, don't even think about blocking him from seeing the surgery. The President of the United States has nothing to do with Lao Gao, but this surgery has a lot to do with Lao Gao.
The entire operation was completed in half an hour, and the steps of ligament balance adjustment were simply ignored. There was no such step.
Could it be that he doesn’t need to adjust it deliberately? After the operation, the ligaments will naturally adjust and the hand will feel like this?
This kind of surgery opened Robert's eyes. He usually opened eyes to others, but this time it was his turn to open eyes.
After the operation, the affected limb is bandaged and the sterile drape is removed.,
Robert did not dare to go too far and asked outside the yellow line: "Can I do a knee joint examination for the patient? Under your supervision."
This kind of non-invasive physical examination is still possible if a doctor from our hospital is present.
Yang Ping also knew that he wanted to check the effect of the operation, so he agreed to let him try it.
Robert put on gloves and completed the entire knee joint physical examination. He raised his thumbs with both hands and raised his eyebrows: "It's unbelievable. The stability of the knee joint is very good."
The joint is very stable. I really doubt whether there is any damage. He hopes to have such a feeling after every operation, but for many years, he has never been able to get such a feeling. Today he finally found it.
This feeling was wonderful, and Robert fiddled with it a few more times. If he were in New York at this time, in his own operating room, performing his own surgery, he would definitely dance with joy.
This is many times better than the surgery I had done based on my thesis. This is the surgery that allows me to return to the game. This is the surgery that ends retirement syndrome.
During this trip to China, Robert simply discovered the New World. This is a magical place, magical people, and magical technology.
No one understands the great significance of this kind of surgery better than Robert. If this kind of effect can be achieved, many sports superstars will not have to leave the field sadly.
For this type of surgery, Robert tried his best to cooperate with Cornell University and Columbia University, using computer technology, 3D imaging technology and motion analysis technology to try to find the best balance, but it was still unsatisfactory.
For this type of patients, patients from all over the world are queuing up to see him, treating him as the end of their journey to seek medical treatment. After passing through his hands, the patients have reached the end of medicine in today's world.
Generally, after Robert's surgery, the patient can regain the ability to walk normally. If he is lucky, he can continue some jogging and other sports, but retirement is already a matter of time.
If you want to achieve Dr. Yang's level, you can't rely on standardized operations. You must gain his experience. When the surgical methods are the same, the difference lies in experience.
Not everyone is willing to teach to gain experience. Even Robert himself, facing students all over the world, will not have enough patience to share his bits and pieces of experience, unless he is his beloved disciple.
It was a pity that he was not allowed to go on the operating table, otherwise he would have learned more. He envied Takahashi, how could he perform surgery with Dr. Yang on the stage?
Seeing is believing. The first fruit stone carving under the microscope and the current arthroscopic surgery made Robert a little confused. He always thought that China was a mysterious country. Now, this mystery has deepened even more.
Back then, Bruce Lee's movies were popular in the United States. As long as American gangsters saw Chinese people wearing cloth shoes, they would avoid them obediently. Kung Fu!
Now Robert has this illusion. Everyone in the operating room has special skills. He just accidentally squeezed the doctor next to him, and he feels very guilty.
"I'm sorry!" Robert said in toneless Chinese.
In front of Yang Ping, his surgical skills have obviously dropped several levels. He is a world-class person, but Robert, who has been at the top of the pyramid for a long time, is very uncomfortable.
"This kind of surgery is difficult for you to perform at a high level in a short period of time. Start with ordinary people, then move to professional athletes in non-confrontational sports, and finally professional athletes in strong contact sports, such as football, basketball, etc.
." Yang Ping is not stingy about sharing his experience with everyone.
Compared to others, experience is much cheaper for him. As long as he is willing, he can accumulate decades of experience from others in an instant.
"Zhang, if I help you make tea, you can get a chance to perform surgery?"
Robert saw an opportunity, pulled Zhang Lin to a corner, and showed the translation software on his mobile phone.
"If you can, let me help you make tea. I will make ten cups for you every day. The Japanese can't do it. He doesn't care about hygiene and doesn't wash his hands before making tea."
"Cigars, they're from Cuba. I have a lot of them. I'll bring them to you tomorrow."
Robert felt that he had found a shortcut to the Eastern style.
