The little Duke has a special status. His family is one of the financial backers of several top medical schools in Germany. For a person with such a prominent status, a major operation needs to be discussed with the professional bosses of these hospitals. What's more, the clinical use of spinal external fixators
The experiment will depend on the votes of several big shots.
Going to Munich to discuss the little Duke's surgery?
Is there something wrong with Auguste's head? Everyone just defended him as the leader of European spines, and he was in a daze, a little dizzy and couldn't find his direction?
It is simply impossible for the little Duke to undergo surgery. Whether it is the difficulty of spinal correction or the accompanying internal risks such as heart failure, the surgery cannot be successful under the current surgical conditions.
Among these experts is August’s teacher, Professor William from the Charité Musculoskeletal Surgery Center.
They were very familiar with the little Duke's condition and had discussed it together countless times.
Since the notice is issued in the name of the German Spine Surgery Society, everyone can only obey it.
More than a dozen experts rushed to Munich from several top hospitals such as Charité Musculoskeletal Surgery Center, Heidelberg University General Hospital, Dresden University General Hospital, etc. These experts are all powerful figures in the German orthopedics community, and they are August.
Special competition with the British Spine Surgery Association is a strong backing.
When these professors gathered around the conference table, they did not see August. Only Marcus appeared.
"Marcus, where is Professor August?"
Professor Lloyd from Heidelberg University General Hospital rapped his knuckles on the table, very dissatisfied.
"Yes, where is Auguste?" Professor Rimbaud from Dresden University General Hospital also expressed dissatisfaction.
Marcus did not answer directly, and August repeatedly warned him to keep his itinerary secret when he left.
"Professor August has gone abroad, and his itinerary needs to be kept secret for now. He said he would explain it to you when he comes back."
That's all Marcus could say.
"Then what are you asking us to do?" The professors were very angry and talked among themselves.
"Professor August is going to ask a foreign professor to operate on the little Duke. The technology used is the latest orthopedic technology. This technology is currently in the clinical trial stage. Professor August is striving for Harlachen Orthopedic Hospital to do this."
There is a quota to go to the clinical trial base of this technology, but whether it can be quickly approved by the German Ministry of Health depends on your support. Professor August asked me to show the new technology approval materials to everyone in advance to save time."
How could Marcus restrain these big guys? He spoke carefully for fear of offending any one of them. If it weren't for Professor August's order, he would not have organized such a meeting.
Germany is the birthplace of Western medicine. Germans are still arrogant, and the German medical community is even more arrogant. They even look down on Americans, let alone others.
In order for the new technology to obtain a clinical trial license as soon as possible, these big bosses must be persuaded and their votes must be obtained.
And when facing arrogant people, treating arrogance with arrogance is a very effective way.
Therefore, in order to save time, August used this method to beat some of the big guys. These big guys always thought that without their support, August was nothing and could not defeat the British.
"He is getting more and more outrageous, leaving us here without a trace."
"I thought August informed us."
"He is ignoring us and lacking basic courtesy."
The professors present were furious and felt that they had been insulted in some way.
Professor Lloyd of Heidelberg University has his iconic wavy blond hair, like a lion.
"Okay, now that we're here, let's see what August is up to. I'll chair this meeting. Marcus, you can tell everyone about the new technology."
Professor William of the Charité Hospital was August's teacher. Of course, he addressed his students, and August had secretly reported some things to him.
Professor William was still able to calm the scene. After all, Charité Medical College and Hospital are the most powerful force in the German medical community.
With the support of Professor William, Marcus became more confident, straightened his body, and projected the information from August onto the conference room screen.
"This new technology is called spinal external fixator to treat scoliosis. It is a brand-new surgery to treat scoliosis----"
Surprised boos, spinal external fixator?
The topic has attracted everyone. Some of these big guys once considered this aspect, but gave up because it was too difficult and considered impossible to succeed. Now someone is actually studying this? This is a dead end in spine surgery.
"This technology has passed animal experiments and phase I clinical trials, phase II clinical trials are in progress, and we are participating in phase III clinical trials. Whether it is animal experiments or phase I clinical trials, the data are very dazzling. Everyone, this is Augu
The information sent by Professor St., because it is still in clinical trials, please do not take pictures or spread it. This is the first clinical case. The Cobb angle is 176 degrees. If you are allowed to treat it, how should it be treated---" Ma
Coos, who had learned Augustus' true biography, paused his speech at this time to whet everyone's appetite.
This patient with a 176 degree deformity is a case of very serious deformity. How did the other party perform the operation?
"Marcus---"
Professor Lloyd had a bad temper. He almost went berserk and rushed up to beat people.
"Our time is precious, don't play tricks." Professor Rimbaud was more gentle.
Another dozen pairs of eyes are also staring at the screen eagerly. With such severe scoliosis, surgery is very difficult. What kind of external fixator technology is feasible?
"Don't pause on purpose. This is August's shortcoming. Don't imitate his shortcomings. Continue talking ---" Professor William's majestic voice came out.
Marcus was very satisfied with the effect of August's speaking skills, which could be seen from the hateful looks in the eyes of the big guys present.
Okay, let’s let black technology come on stage!
"Look, these are the preoperative anteroposterior and lateral radiographs and CT three-dimensional reconstructed images of the whole spine. This is the image of the postoperative correction. Let's see, what is the effect of the correction? Not a single segment is fused, and every intervertebral disc is preserved.
, all the joints of the spine are movable, this is the spine closest to normal." Marcus has never been so confident in front of these big guys.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! August is so awesome. He actually handed over the explanation of such advanced technology to himself. When he looked at these big guys, they looked like they had never seen the world before.
Country bumpkin, it’s so cool, Marcus glanced at the whole audience with his disdainful eyes.
I don’t know whether they were doubting or just hadn’t reacted yet. Everyone had no objection to Marcus’s pause this time.
Everyone stared at the sharply contrasting spine on the screen, feeling as if they were being photographed.
"Is this true?" Lloyd, who was originally irritable, sounded cautious.
Marcus released a series of images of Xiao Cui before surgery, two weeks after surgery, one month after surgery, two months after surgery, and three months after surgery.
The venue was silent once again. Someone took out his glasses and put them on and started to get serious.
After a few minutes of silence, whispers began.
This kind of black technology will always take some time to digest. Marcus is not in a hurry. There are not many such comfortable moments, so he should try to extend the time as much as possible.
I'm afraid there will never be a time when the boss is trampled under his feet and rounded and flattened.
For a 176-degree scoliosis, if they were asked to undergo surgery, they would definitely be hesitant and difficult to make a decision. Even if they tried hard, it would only be enough and it would be impossible to completely correct it. It would be great to improve it a little bit.
This new method in front of me is so powerful that it simply ignores 176 degrees and actually corrects it to normal.
At first, some people doubted the authenticity, but everyone was familiar with August's rigorous attitude. He would not call everyone together to introduce fake technology, and he was still abroad, so he hurriedly asked his assistant to introduce the new technology to everyone. The purpose was to persuade.
Everyone voted to allow the technology to enter clinical trials.
"Are there any other cases?"
No one spoke, and Professor William broke the silence.
Marcus had good timing and released the subsequent thirty-nine cases one by one.
I want to round and squash your face, I want to make your little heart beat fast, I want to make your eyes blurry.
Marcus did it. A dozen professors were disturbed by a series of cases. Some of them puffed out their cheeks, some elongated their faces, some rubbed their brows, and some beat their necks. Marcus sat down and waited for them to fully digest.
.
Marcus looked as if he had created this technology himself.
"Most of the cases here were witnessed by Professor August. You are familiar with him. He is a serious and cautious person. He will not call everyone together easily without sufficient investigation and verification. His intention is very obvious, let the new technology
Quickly obtain the license to enter clinical trials, because at the same time, clinical trials are also being carried out in the United States and Japan, and we cannot fall behind."
Marcus took a sip of water and said slowly.
"Slow down the case, do it again, and let someone prepare some snacks!" Professor William interrupted Marcus's leisurely sitting posture.
The professors present are the strongest force in German orthopedics. They have different expressions now. Some are frowning, some are holding their chins, and some are slightly raising their heads and closing their eyes to think.
"Marcus, can you tell us about this technology? You should understand it, right?" Professor Lloyd held back the conversation for a long time and finally said it.
Professor Rimbaud also couldn't wait to ask.
"Of course, I am the second doctor in Europe to learn this new technology. The number of doctors in the world who can master this technology can be counted on one hand." Marcus asked his assistant to distribute the printed technical manual.
"Be low-key!" William accused the high-profile young man.
"Yes, sir." Marcus bowed slightly.
"I want to know how long this case took, how the Irizharov theory could be applied in this way, and their osteotomy process, I need details?"
Professor Lloyd was once interested in spinal external fixators, but felt that it was impossible to achieve and gave up early.
"The whole process took three months. You see, these are the pictures of two weeks, one month, two months, and three months after the operation. The spine is gradually straightened, which is very amazing." Marcus recalled.
176 degree picture.
"Oh my God, it's 176 degrees. It can be corrected like this without neurological dysfunction?" Professor Rimbaud was very concerned about this issue. He wanted to see the patient's condition after surgery.
Marcus released the video of Xiao Cui before, during and after the operation. After the operation, Xiao Cui can bend down to tie his shoelaces, his gait is normal, his spine is in very good shape, and most importantly, he retains the maximum range of motion.
"Is there an image of the heart and lungs?"
Professor Lloyd couldn't wait to learn more.
Marcus cooperated and released the pre- and post-cardiopulmonary surgery images. They were not in danger during the orthopedic process. They were in a very good position after the surgery and could function well.
"Can you zoom in a little closer? I want to see that external fixator!" Another professor said.
"Yes, are there details about external fixators in the manual? How do they assemble?"
Lloyd was the most positive person in the audience, because he once had an idea, but it was eliminated by the difficulty, and he never thought about taking this path again.
The image of the exquisite external fixator is zoomed in, very beautiful.
There was another burst of boos, expressing admiration.
No wonder August was so arrogant. He left everyone here so that he could confidently say that he had gone abroad and kept his itinerary secret.
He used this new technology to calm everyone, and he did it.
"Where did August find this technology? I haven't seen it before, and it's not mentioned in the latest paper." Lloyd is a gentle and elegant man.
"Professor August will explain this to you personally." Marcus said in an official tone.
Marcus added: "But you can believe that this new technology will spread from Haraching to all of Europe and across the English Channel."
The last sentence is what German orthopedics like to hear most.
They had always hated Milton, the troublemaker.
"What you all have to do is to cast your precious vote when the time comes."
Each person received a manual, which had been translated into German by August.
The technical details in the manual are very detailed, including the theoretical basis of osteotomy, application principles, operational details, technical principles of external fixators, assembly methods, and various application scenarios. This is already a mature technology in a systematic manner.
Everyone is wondering why the people sitting here are completely unaware of it. How come August knows about it when he is so ignorant and so backward?
"Marcus, you just said that he is the second doctor in Europe to master this technology?"
Lloyd asked.
Marcus touched his nose. It can be said that August is a student of that great god. He claims to be the first person in Europe to master this technology. August first teaches me the technology. Am I not the second one?
?
"If you say it in a high-profile way," Marcus said, confirming his identity.
"I'll stay here tonight. You can make some arrangements. There are still many questions. Let's discuss them. Do you mind?" Lloyd decided to stay and understand the manual.
"I'll stay too."
"I stayed."
…
this?
I'm afraid I don't understand a lot of things, Marcus started to sweat.
