The reduction plan is established. The question is whether the patient can accept this reality. Although manual reduction after anesthesia is possible, the worst result must still be considered. The structure of this area is indeed relatively complex. Once manual reduction fails,
In the end, open reduction was still required and Zhuang Tao's foot was fixed with Kirschner wires.
"It seems that I have no other choice, right?" Zhuang Tao was very open-minded. He smiled bitterly after hearing the result, "I just want to ask, if your... manual reduction is not successful, surgery should be performed instead.
If so, when can I get off the ground and walk?"
Zheng Guoyou seemed to have known that Zhuang Tao would ask this question, "No matter which method is used to reset, it will take at least six weeks to remove the fixation. Within three months, you will need to use crutches to reduce the burden on your feet. After three months, you can no longer use crutches."
But I can’t jump or carry heavy objects for a year. It will take about two weeks to be hospitalized, and then I will just come to the hospital for a review once a month."
Zhuang Tao's eyes widened. He seemed not to realize how complicated his injury was, "What?!"
"Your foot is now completely separated from the leg bone." Sun Lien knew that he needed to explain the situation to Zhuang Tao as soon as possible, so as to get the maximum cooperation from the patient. "The injury at this position is very complicated. If most people are like you,
, it will be complicated by complex and serious fractures. Now it is just a simple dislocation, which is much easier to deal with than a fracture, but this simplicity is for our doctors. For you, you still need to pay close attention and protect yourself.
leg."
Zheng Guoyou answered, "Your son is only three years old. You don't want him to be on crutches while he grows up, right?"
Every father wants to be fully involved in the growth of his child. If it weren't for the fact that he had no other choice, no one would want to miss this important process. Zhuang Tao broke into a cold sweat. This time, it was not because of pain, but because he was afraid. What if he
I'm lame, but there won't be any problem with my job. Once I can, I won't be able to accompany my children to play football, go on outings, or visit toy stores...
"For parents, protecting yourself means not only protecting your own physical safety, but also protecting your children's mental health." Sun Lien patted Zhuang Tao on the shoulder, "Although it sounds like after being discharged from the hospital,
It will be troublesome, but it’s better than cutting it off.”
Zhuang Tao nodded, "Let's do it. I can still walk on my own feet in at least three months, which is good."
The preparation process for the operation went smoothly. After Zhuang Tao agreed to the operation, his wife rushed back and signed the operation notice.
Zhuang Tao was sent to the operating room. Zheng Guoyou could not perform the operation this time. Xiao Lirong also followed her into the operating room. She came specifically to keep an eye on her boss to prevent him from performing in person again. Sun Lien took Xu Yourong with him.
Stand with Dr. Pascal and watch the operation go by.
Although there were five more people watching, the operating room did not seem crowded. This "surgery" did not have a chief surgeon and an assistant and two assistants in the traditional sense. The orthopedics department specially selected three tall and strong doctors to perform this operation.
Manual reduction. Before entering the operating room, Sun Lien felt a little uneasy, so he simply called Xiao Guo from the emergency room.
The largest size of hand-washing clothes became a small size when worn on Xiao Guo. Sun Lien looked at the hand-washing clothes on Xiao Guo's legs that looked like cropped pants, and it was very difficult to hold back his laughter.
Xiao Guo also felt that his appearance was a bit nondescript, but compared to this, he was obviously more interested in the environment of the operating room. After all, he was still in the internship period, and this was his first time entering the operating room.
The anesthesiologist was preparing for the final pre-anesthesia check. Hu Jia opened the spring door of the operating room and approached Sun Lien. "I heard from Sister Xu that this is another rare case?"
Sun Lien nodded, "The ankle joint is completely dislocated, but there is no fracture."
Hu Jia looked at the operating table and asked in a low voice, "Who is doing the surgery today? Director Zheng hasn't recovered yet, has he?"
"If everything goes well, no surgery will be performed today." Sun Lien said happily, "Didn't you see the equipment list?"
"No." Hu Jia replied seriously, "I heard that he was your patient, so I came over."
"I said..." Zheng Guoyou turned his head and said seriously to the two of them, "I know you two young people are very excited to have just become a couple, but you should also pay a little attention to the environment." He pointed to the operating table.
Zhuang Tao said, "If you scare the patient and the heart rate cannot stabilize, both of you will have to be kicked out after anesthesia."
Dr. Pascal had a gentle smile of an elder on his face. He smiled at Xu Yourong and said, "I have done this kind of thing before. Looking at the two of them now, I actually feel like I am getting older."
"You already have two children." Xu Yourong's expression remained unchanged, "If you still feel that you are a high school student, then I suggest you find a more powerful psychological counselor."
It was like a cross talk in the operating room. Zhuang Tao on the operating table was not very nervous. It was just that he couldn't help but laugh while listening to the doctors' jokes. In the end, he got angry with his hands.
Anesthesiologist holding a respirator.
"I'm warning you." The anesthesiologist with zebra glasses looked around at the doctors around him seriously, "If you continue to talk about cross talk, this patient may overdose. Then you will do the intubation."
The person in charge in the operating room is replaced as the operation progresses. Before anesthesia, the anesthesiologist is the largest in the operating room. During the operation, the chief surgeon is the largest. When it comes to aseptic principles and inventory of surgical equipment,
Instrument nurse is the biggest.
Now the anesthesiologist is the biggest in the operating room. The doctor with zebra glasses glared, and everyone around him shut his mouth. Only Zhuang Tao still felt a little unsatisfied, "Doctor, can you not give me general anesthesia? I still want to... continue...
Listen to the appearance...sound..."
The doctor with zebra glasses nodded with satisfaction and took off the respirator covering Zhuang Tao's face. He coughed lightly and said a Peking Opera-style remark to Zheng Guoyou, "Mother Wang, Dalang has taken the medicine.
Already~"
"Superior muscle paralysis." Zheng Guoyou waved his hand, showing no reaction at all to the doctor's words with zebra glasses. Then, he turned to Xiao Guo, who had an eager expression on his face and said, "Nurse Guo, I'll trouble you later.
Hold down the patient's right calf. Remember, you must hold it down and don't let his leg move."
Xiao Guo chuckled and said, "I studied judo in high school. Don't worry, Director Zheng."
Zheng Guoyou glanced at the electronic clock next to the operating table and said, "At 3:27 pm, the operation begins!"
