The Sports Healer Starting from Milan

Chapter 118 An Inevitable Treat

Lin Mu didn't rest after arranging for several patients.

In the afternoon, while teaching a class of students in the advanced training program, he took out the locator he designed.

"Preparing bone tunnels has always been a challenge in ACL dual-bundle reconstruction."

Lin Mu adjusted the locator in front of him as he spoke.

He used the ankle cartilage edge and ligament footprint as the inherent boundaries to fix the reference, while simultaneously locking the center points of the anterior medial bundle and the posterior lateral bundle.

The distance between the two most important bone bridges is forcibly limited to a certain range.

This way, there's no need to worry about bone tunnels touching, breaking, or fusing.

Lin Mu demonstrated the locator.

The orthopedic elites from various countries in the audience looked on in astonishment.

They performed many single-beam reconstruction procedures, using many of the major manufacturers' sights, each with its own merits.

However, when performing double-bundle reconstruction surgery.

They could only move the equipment repeatedly.

As for the dual-beam sights developed by major manufacturers, they hardly involve tension control of the graft.

After all, Lin Mu had not yet proposed the differential formula for knee joint tension at that time.

Something seems off.

Some people noticed something amiss.

Lin Mu connected a tension tester-like device to the locator, which allowed him to directly adjust the locking tension in response to the knee flexion angle according to the formula.

"Is this a foolproof device?"

An orthopedic surgeon from the University of Tokyo Hospital exclaimed in surprise.

"No, that's not it."

Lin Mu pointed to the positioning device and said, "Although it has the convenience of preset benchmarks, to adapt it to the patient's condition, it is necessary to rely on imaging data or arthroscopy to make judgments. If you only know how to apply standard values ​​and do not have enough anatomical experience, tunnel misalignment and biomechanical imbalance will still occur in the end."

The audience members began to ponder.

They quickly understood.

This positioning system is not for beginners, but for experienced users. It allows experienced users to eliminate some low-level human errors by using preset benchmarks.

Wait until the course is finished.

Lin Mu looked at Li Aiguo at Jishuitan and Sun Kang at Yanjing Third Hospital and asked, "Shall we go out for dinner together?"

Let's go!

The two of them also had a lot of questions that needed to be answered.

What's the current situation in hospitals in China?

Lin Mu asked casually.

When he visited the Third Hospital of Peking University before, he only learned about it briefly and did not conduct an in-depth investigation.

Later, he did get Pata to help him collect information.

In China, traditional single-bundle reconstruction is the most common approach, while anatomical double-bundle reconstruction remains only in literature or at the level of observation at international conferences.

Even most doctors are still debating the difference between patellar tendon and hamstring grafts.

"There are significant limitations in terms of equipment and consumables."

Li Aiguo sighed and explained in detail.

Actually.

At present, ACL dual-beam reconstruction is in its initial stage.

Even if they complete their studies and return to their home country.

Most patients do not have the financial means to undergo this procedure.

Because the cost of consumables for dual-beam reconstruction is almost twice that of single-beam reconstruction.

Domestic stock of micro-devices is still very limited.

The patient's understanding is limited to whether the knee can straighten and whether walking is affected by the diseased leg.

Only professional athletes have a high demand for this sport.

However, the cooperative medical system for professional athletes in China is not very comprehensive.

The number of cases naturally decreased.

Not to mention that postoperative rehabilitation is extremely weak.

No matter how well the surgery is performed, it's all for nothing if the recovery isn't up to par.

"It takes time for a technology to go from its inception to becoming mainstream. We can't wait until other technologies are mature before we start learning them."

.

"Moreover, bi-bundle anatomy can logically optimize existing single-bundle surgery."

Lin Mu nodded.

Li Aiguo and Sun Kang exchanged a glance upon hearing this.

They seemed to have some limitations before.

If we follow Lin Mu's suggestion, we should first standardize single-bundle reconstruction to improve issues such as poor domestic positioning and lack of standardized tension, and then wait until conditions for future cases, rehabilitation, and consumables are met.

Wouldn't that naturally lead to the widespread adoption of dual-beam reconstruction?

The meal was rather depressing.

Lin Mu returned to his office.

"Dr. Wood!"

The nurse's urgent cries arrived right on time.

"explain!"

Lin Mu snapped out of his nap.

"The call from headquarters was from Germany."

The nurse reminded her.

When the call came through, Lin Mu raised an eyebrow.

It turned out to be the team doctor of Munich 1860, Jönberg.

"Last year I treated a patient who was Li Na, a tennis player from China. She is currently participating in the Indian Wells tournament."

"But she already had a very serious knee injury, with muscle imbalance, cartilage wear and tear, and some damage to the meniscus."

"She came to see me again recently..."

After hearing Renbo's explanation, Lin Mu finally understood.

The other party is seeking my opinion.

"Surgery is not suitable in her current condition, as it would be considered overtreatment. However, given her condition, it would be best for her to temporarily stop competing and focus on rehabilitation."

Lin Mu had previously learned about Li Na.

She announced her retirement in 2002, four years ago.

The reason is also very simple.

Due to health reasons, I am no longer suitable to participate in tennis.

But in 2004, Li Na made a comeback.

He suffered some injuries for almost two years afterward.

The two chatted briefly.

finally.

Renbok said he would recommend Linmu to Li Na, believing that Linmu could definitely provide Li Na with great help in meniscus repair.

"They probably want to participate in the Beijing Olympics, right?"

Lin Mu kept this in mind.

Then I searched for recent sports news.

"Yesterday, Yelena Isinbayeva won the title at the Levin Indoor Grand Prix in France with a jump of 4.72 meters!"

Lin Mu paused slightly in his grip on the mouse.

He remembered their previous agreement: Isinbayeva had said that if he won the championship, he would treat her to dinner.

It seems this meal is unavoidable.

Lin Mu clicked on the video.

In the image, Isinbayeva's figure traces a graceful arc in the air.

She easily cleared the tall pole.

It eventually fell onto the soft mat.

After getting up, Isinbayeva faced the camera, pretending there was a delicious meal in front of her, and picked up a spoon with her right hand to eat.

Lin Mu chuckled softly and continued reading.

"The 3-day countdown to the World Cup has begun! In the highly anticipated match on March 2nd, Italy defeated Germany 5-1. Gilardino scored in the fourth minute to establish an early lead, Del Piero scored twice, Inzaghi added another goal, and Materazzi, returning from injury, made an excellent substitute appearance!"

"The 11th World Indoor Athletics Championships are about to begin. Yelena Isinbayeva is aiming for the title, not records; former world champion Fiofanova is making a comeback..."

Lin Mu hadn't even noticed that the indoor track and field championships were about to begin.

There is another report below.

"In the history of the World Indoor Championships, China has always been a supporting player, but in the last three competitions, Liu Xiang won the championship twice, which has given the domestic track and field a fig leaf."

"However, Liu Xiang sprained his ankle during training in February this year and had to give up the Shanghai leg of the National Indoor Athletics Championships. Whether he can participate in the World Indoor Championships is still unknown."

"And who can raise the banner?"
