The Sports Healer Starting from Milan

Chapter 112 Da Luo's Hypothyroidism

"Alan Smith was struck on his supporting foot while blocking a free kick yesterday, suffering a fractured tibia and a dislocated ankle. He is currently undergoing surgery at Salford Royal Hospital."

Lin Mu watched the morning news the next day.

I can't help but sigh that there are just too many injuries in the sports world; even if I had the ability to create shadow clones, I couldn't cure them all.

He turned his gaze back to Feng Kun's medical record on the computer.

The surgical plan has been roughly determined.

ACL double-bundle reconstruction and meniscus repair.

The remaining old injuries will not be treated for the time being.

Otherwise, the recovery period will be longer, affecting Feng Kun's participation in the World Championships.

Now we're just waiting for Feng Kun to come to Milan so we can do some preparatory work, such as buying insurance, and then the surgery can be performed.

Ding Dong!

The forestry public mailbox received an email from the United States.

He clicked on it and took a look.

"Dr. Wood, hello. I am Thomas Carter, the team doctor for the Phoenix Suns. Before introducing Amar'e Stoudemire's specific situation, I would like to ask you two questions about dual-band reconstruction."

Please forgive me if I have been presumptuous.

"I have been following your development in the field of bibliometric anatomy. Unfortunately, due to work reasons, I was unable to attend the advanced training course at San Rafael Hospital. Your knee differential formula solved a problem that has troubled me for many years: how tight should the posterolateral bundle be pulled?"

"You mentioned the posterior lateral bundle in your paper..."

39

"I would appreciate it if you could answer the above questions. Also, please allow me to describe Amare's condition. I suspect that it is not as simple as compensation."

'

""

After carefully reading the email, Lin Mu couldn't help but marvel at the many talented people in the world.

Thomas Carter's questions reveal that he had a fairly deep understanding of bifascicular anatomy.

He's even more skilled than many of the orthopedic elites in the advanced training program.

Lin Mu also became somewhat curious about this person.

He had heard Hill say that before.

Thomas Carter was a great doctor, the most famous and highly praised doctor in the NBA.

So Lin Mu began searching for information about Thomas Carter on relevant websites.

Cartilage Mechanobiological Modeling

Lin Mu opened the paper and glanced at it, raising an eyebrow slightly. It really did have some substance.

This paper discusses using computer models to simulate how chondrocytes respond to mechanical stress.

From the perspective of the trees.

The idea is quite forward-thinking.

Thomas Carter recently published a paper in CORR, a prestigious and long-established journal in the field of orthopedics, on "How knee rotational instability after ACL injury leads to cartilage thinning".

He was thoroughly enjoying looking at the trees.

It took me half an hour to realize that I was supposed to look at Stoudemire's case.

"We can get to know each other in the future."

Lin Mu thought to himself as he opened the email attachment.

"To address the core issue in the left knee, arthroscopic removal of the inflamed synovium and repair of the patellar cartilage are necessary."

Lin Mu stroked his chin. "A minimally invasive release procedure will suffice for the right knee compensation."

The key is to adjust the soft tissue and normalize the overall force alignment; otherwise, even if it recovers, problems may arise in the future.

Lin Mu packaged his proposal and his reply to Thomas Carter together and sent them over.

Knock knock knock!

The knocking sounded again, and the nurse called from outside, "Dr. Wood, Dr. Mochini wants you to participate in a conference call. It's about a football player named 'Ronaldo'."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Lin Mu stood up after he finished speaking.

If he remembers correctly, Ronaldo had a muscle strain last October.

Lin Mu happened to see that news.

"What's wrong now?"

Lin Mu muttered to himself as he entered the conference room, where the teacher, Cody Anderson, and others were already present.

"Wood, please have a seat."

Associate Chief of Orthopedics Cody Anderson warmly pulled out the chair next to him.

He then saw Roberto Mochini glance at him.

He quickly pulled out the chair next to the other person and called out to Anna, who was passing by outside, "Come on in too."

"I?"

Anna glanced around the conference room and saw that, apart from Lin Mu, who was the attending physician, the other staff members included at least the deputy director of orthopedics and people from the endocrinology department.

How can a student in their second year of vocational training come here?

However, she still went inside excitedly.

She wasn't nervous at all.

The conference call began quickly.

In response to Ronaldo's identity, the Rubel International Clinic in Madrid invited three medical institutions: the Salpêtrière Hospital in France, the San Raffaele Hospital in Italy, and the ATOS Orthopedic Hospital in Munich.

They will hold in-person discussions with the core group and conference calls with external experts.

Anna, who had switched seats with Cody Anderson at some point, nudged Lin Mu and whispered, "Was it really necessary to make it all so complicated?"

"The patient's condition may be more complicated than it seems."

Lin Mu picked up the documents faxed over by Rubel International Clinic.

Ronaldo suffered a tear in the first-order fiber of the soleus muscle in his right calf.

If that's all there is to it, then there's no need for multiple consultations.

really.

There were also eight other serious injuries in the past.

It's almost always the right knee.

Finally, there was a diagnosis about a metabolic problem with Ronaldo.

Previously, people believed that Ronaldo's serious weight gain was due to a lack of self-discipline.

However, after inspection...

Rubel International Clinic believes that Ronaldo suffers from hypothyroidism.

This is also known as hypothyroidism, which lowers a patient's basal metabolic rate.

This means that even if Ronaldo consumes food with normal calories.

The body is also more inclined to convert it into fat.

Lin Mu began to think.

This is somewhat unsolvable.

Hypothyroidism leads to weight gain, which increases pressure on the knees. Increased knee pressure leads to reduced physical activity, which in turn further slows down metabolism.

"Let's first discuss the issue of hypothyroidism."

The person speaking on the other end of the phone was Torene, the head of the endocrinology department at Rubel International Clinic.

The answers given by all parties were roughly the same.

For example, levothyroxine sodium can be used.

This was already a relatively mature approach in the hypothyroidism diagnosis and treatment system of 2006.

Kotorini continued, "After Coroni took the medicine, his indicators returned to normal, but his body didn't respond well."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu picked up the blood test results.

FT3 is too low.

The other data wasn't very good either.

Lin Mu picked up another report, which contained the results of his cardiopulmonary function test.

Do you know why hypothyroid patients might not experience any health benefits even when taking their medication as prescribed?

Lin Mutou asked without looking up.

Anna looked around blankly, Roberto Mochini closed his eyes to rest, and Cody Anderson remained calm and composed.

"I have no idea..."

Anna thought to herself, "How could I, an orthopedic surgeon, understand endocrine issues?"

"Could it be that you, senior brother, also know about endocrinology?"

Anna asked incredulously.

"It's all basic knowledge, just like neurosurgery."

Lin Mu said, "The answer is that for athletes, it is not enough to just check resting indicators. It is necessary to assess thyroid function under exercise load so that we can see how the body is when it needs it."
