The Germans are full of curiosity and questions about this new technology.
Things that are too advanced often face this dilemma. The development of new technologies generally has an iterative process, from germination to development to maturity, which is generally a spiral upward process.
It is not one person who leads this process, but a group of people or generations.
Therefore, any new technology has a development trajectory, but this new technology seems to have no reasonable trajectory. It suddenly appeared and rushed directly to clinical trials.
At least in the paper, its trajectory cannot be found.
With such advanced technology, how come there are no papers at different stages?
This leaves everyone here with many questions in their minds.
However, with more than forty successful cases in front of us, there is no reason to doubt.
No matter how medicine develops, it is a practical science, and practice is king. Practice has proven that this technology is both safe and has excellent results.
Under the traction of the external fixator, the 176-degree scoliosis gradually returned to normal within three months, and the structure and function of all stages were retained after the operation without any sequelae.
For this reason, the new technology is epoch-making. The only disadvantage is that it takes several months and cannot provide immediate correction like traditional surgery.
Lloyd, Rimbaud, and William carefully analyzed the process of osteotomy and distraction, and found that almost every link requires an innovative theory to support it. From osteotomy distribution to the design of the external fixator, the entire technical structure is very sophisticated and mature.
This is obviously not something that can be accomplished in one generation, but can only be achieved after a long period of improvement.
Since Marcus is the second doctor in Europe to master new technologies, it is natural for everyone to ask him questions if they don’t understand.
Fortunately, the young man read the manual carefully according to Auguste's requirements and fully understood the new technology.
So when everyone asked questions, he could barely say anything.
Being able to answer questions for big guys is something that can easily make people feel inflated.
Under Marcus's patient guidance, the leaders formed a preliminary understanding of the new technology.
"Everyone, how much do you know about the application of Ilizalov's theory to the study of spinal orthopedics?"
Professor William felt that at least in his memory, there were few such articles. Even the most cutting-edge research teams only entered into animal experiments, and of course the result was failure.
Because there are so many problems to overcome, the spine has become a restricted area for external fixator technology. External fixators have been widely used in the limbs and pelvis, but they have never really entered the field of spine, let alone cooperated with Ilizarov's theory.
Orthopedics.
As a conceptual technology, it has not been involved.
"Even Russia's National Ilizalov Hospital, which claims to be the most advanced in research, has not allowed external fixators to actually enter the spine. There have been sporadic animal experiments, but they failed for various reasons. It can be said that they have not even started. Other research teams
It’s conceivable.”
Professor Lloyd really can't think of any progress this technology has made in the spine.
Professor Rimbaud frowned: "I have never seen a relevant breakthrough in a paper. Now, it is suddenly in front of us."
"Marcus, can you tell me the source of the technology?"
Lloyd wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Marcus still shook his head: "Mr. August said it was confidential."
It’s confidential again. Are we here today just to see a demonstration of this new technology? They won’t tell us anything.
Soon, Marcus added: "But I can tell you that the doctor who invented the new technology was Mr. August's mentor."
tutor?
who?
Who else could be August's mentor?
Although these guys always dismiss August, they have to admit that he is the best spine surgeon in the world.
It’s hard to count the number of people who can be August’s mentor.
Professor William here can count because Auguste completed his training under him. As for the two seniors from France and the United States CD, it can also be counted, but I have not heard of them being involved in spinal external fixator technology, and they have retired long ago.
Who is that?
The big guys here searched their minds for the names of all the spine surgery experts who could be August's mentor, but they didn't know or recognize him. How could it be possible?
Everyone looked at Professor William, who coughed a few times: "Okay, don't look at me, I don't know anything. Let's continue discussing the case. What the hell is this guy doing? Only when he comes back can we
I know." Professor William guided the conversation to the other side.
Some people think that today's meeting is not a discussion at all, but August takes the opportunity to demonstrate this new technology.
"The problem with little Duke is not only the spine, which is only the first hurdle. We also have to face heart problems. His heart has no compensatory ability. Any accident will be unbearable for the heart.
Professor William changed the topic to the case itself.
"Yes, even if it can be corrected, the heart hurdle cannot be overcome no matter what. Various accidents will be encountered during the orthopedic process. We don't know where the bomb is buried and when it will detonate. It is better to give up this operation, even if the new technology
It can solve the problem of the spine, but it cannot solve the problem of the heart.”
Lloyd had long since given up on this case. It was an unsolvable case. Of course, even at the first level, he couldn't do anything.
Once the external pressure is removed from the trapped heart, the load on the circulatory system will change. How will the heart, which has no potential, cope with this change? If it cannot cope, it will have to wait for death.
"What we are facing is not a single problem, but a human engineering problem."
Rimbaud and Lloyd are on the same side, and the doctor cannot take risks without certainty.
Teams funded by the Duke's Fund are spread all over the world, but none of them can solve this knot.
August’s mysterious mentor, huh! He’s so virtuous and capable, he can surpass so many teams on his own.

General Surgery, Sanbo Hospital.
Yang Ping was resting in the office. Song Zimo, Xu Zhiliang, August, Takahashi and Robert were sitting in Yang Ping's office reading comics. The entire set of comics purchased by Takahashi had been mailed from Japan, and everyone was rushing to read them while they were resting.
In addition to the exaggerated plots and character creation that comics should have, this set of comics also has prototypes for many stories, and the prototypes are Yang Ping and Sanbo Hospital.
As for who is behind the scenes, this is a mystery.
However, for Yang Ping, as long as it is not slander and slander, but "heroic deeds", it is acceptable.
Everyone is reading it with great interest, hoping to find their own characters in the book.
"Professor Yang, there is someone looking for you outside. She said she is your friend, her name is Ning Qi." A nurse announced at the door.
Ning Qi, Yang Ping made an appointment with her to meet today to review Ning Jue, and almost forgot about it.
"Yes, you are the friend I made an appointment with." Yang Ping told the nurse.
For the sake of safety, no one can enter or leave the ward at will. If you visit a patient, you need to visit within the prescribed visiting hours. The security guard at the door will ask the visitor's name and bed number in detail, and then give the information to the nurse for confirmation. Only after confirmation can you enter the ward.
.
Make an appointment with the doctor, and the nurse will confirm it before letting the security go.
If it is not managed in this way, thieves, medical staff, etc. will sneak into the ward to carry out business.
"Professor Yang---"
Under the leadership of the nurse, Ning Qi came to the door of Yang Ping's office. She was wearing a white skirt with a knee-level skirt. She had a tall figure, slender legs, exquisite curves, and shoulder-length black hair draped behind her head, making her look...
Luo Luo generous.
Different from her usual capable professional temperament, Ning Qi now looks like a gentle elementary school teacher, elegant and slim.
Standing behind her is Ning Ju. Ning Ju's hair has all grown out, about two to three centimeters long. She doesn't have long wavy hair, but her artistic temperament is still there.
Ning Qi was holding cookies made by herself: "Can I come in?"
"retreat!"
Robert tugged on the clothes of several companions, and everyone exited the office knowingly.
Ning Qi handed the cookie to Yang Ping with both hands and bowed slightly gracefully: "Thank you, Professor Yang! This is a little thought from me."
This box of cookies was the work of Ning Qi for several days, and she made several batches before she was satisfied.
This female CEO usually has a bodyguard and driver when she goes out, several nannies to take care of her at home, and a secretary who even prepares coffee in the office.
But this time, Ning Qi didn't go to the company for several days. She purchased the raw materials by herself and made cookies in the kitchen of the villa. She didn't let the chef interfere with every step. She did it by herself and almost burned her fingers.
Several nannies at home asked each other what happened to the eldest lady, who actually stayed in the kitchen for several days, baking cookies for several batches, and was still going on.
She thought she was making it for her younger brother, but when the most satisfying batch of cookies came out of the oven, Ning Jue reached out to grab it, and was slapped open by the CEO's sister.
Unexpectedly, her younger brother couldn't touch this batch of cookies, and could only eat the defective ones that she thought were scrapped. Of course, the scrapped ones weren't the ones that were burnt and turned black. They were still edible, but the quality wasn't as perfect as the current box.
I worked on it from morning to night, almost burning my fingers while taking out the cookies. After several days in a row, I finally came up with this box of super cookies.
Early this morning, this box of cookies was not even touched. Ning Qi carried it herself. In the car, she kept putting the cookies on her lap and took care of her all the way to Sanbo Hospital.
"Professor Yang, it's been several days since Ning Jue came back, but you were too busy and we didn't dare to disturb you, so we just came today." Ning Qi was always so calm, mature and steady.
"You're too polite, would you like some tea?" Yang Ping asked Ning Qi to take a seat.
"Just give us two glasses of mineral water." Ning Qi took her younger brother to sit on the sofa opposite Yang Ping's desk and took the water from Yang Ping.
"I heard that you are planning to go to Germany recently. I have prepared a special plane for you and it is ready to go at any time."
Ning Qi owns a large private jet produced by Airbus, which is usually parked at Nandu Airport. This private jet is usually Ning Qi's exclusive car.
"No need to go to such trouble, I'll just take the flight."
A private plane is too fancy and fancy, and Yang Ping is not used to it. Although they are good friends, it is not good for them to be too luxurious.
Ning Qi took a sip of water and said slightly angrily: "That won't work. If you treat me as a friend and you go abroad for surgery and meetings in the future, I will arrange the special flight. If you hadn't gone to Japan to perform surgery on Ning Yu, where would he be now?
I should be able to sit here and do something for you. Besides, time is the most precious to you. A private plane can save a lot of time. Usually my plane is idle when it is idle. I will become your car and fly to the world.
It’s better to treat diseases and save people everywhere than to stay at the airport.”
In Yang Ping's heart, Ning Qi has long been a good friend. She was the first to support his scientific research fund and said she would continue to make donations.
"Okay." Yang Ping couldn't refuse Ning Qi's kindness.
Traveling by private plane saves a lot of time. Your time is indeed very valuable.
Ning Qi was very happy when she saw that Yang Ping no longer refused: "When are you going to leave? If you have any requirements, just call me directly. If you need help in Germany, our European branch can provide help."
After the two chatted for a while, Yang Ping took Ning Ju to the diagnosis and treatment room, asked Ning Ju in detail about recovery, and then conducted a detailed physical examination to see if there were any sequelae. The examination found no abnormalities.
Yang Ping arranged for Ning Jue to undergo head MRI and other examinations to see if there were any signs of tumor recurrence.
——
Robert and the three of them gathered around the most remote desk in the doctor's office, with their heads together, whispering.
August asked very gossipy: "Who is that girl?"
Because Takahashi met Ning Qi when Yang Ping was flying knives in Japan, so Takahashi is most familiar with Ning Qi: "The domineering president! The professor's friend."
"The professor's friend is not Su from the operating room?"
August touched his chin, not quite understanding.
"That's the professor's girlfriend, this is the professor's good friend, do you understand?" Robert glanced at August.
The meaning of the word friend is too complex, and different contexts have different meanings.
"Didn't everyone say that the professor and Su are talking about friends? Are they talking about friends again? It's really a bit of a waste of brain cells."
Auguste's Chinese is good, but he is obviously not as proficient as Robert and Takahashi. It is normal for him to be a little confused sometimes, especially when he enters the semantic maze, which is difficult to understand for a while.
"The professor and Su are friends. This one is friends with the professor, but not friends. Do you understand?"
Robert was a little impatient with the German's slow thinking.
"We are already friends, how could we not talk about it? How can we be friends if we haven't talked about it?" The German was very logical and asked Robert.
Takahashi tried to explain: "This friend is not that friend, that is my girlfriend, this is an ordinary friend."
"Let me tell you this, you should be able to understand that Su and the professor will get married and have children in the future; this friend will not marry the professor, let alone have children, and is just an ordinary friend." Robert pressed his hand on Augustus.
Especially on the shoulders.
If you explain it this way and still don’t understand, your Chinese talent is too poor.
August finally nodded in understanding: "I understand, I understand everything!"
Su is a friend who will get married in the future, that is, a lover. This friend will not get married in the future, but is just for fun. Is that what you mean?
Looking at August's weird smile, Robert was worried that the Germans really understood?
