Chapter 77 Park Ji-sung's Choice
Upon closer inspection, Lin Mu realized it was a young female doctor.
A white liquid was flowing on the table. Lin Mu's nostrils twitched slightly; it must be a three-in-one nutrient solution.
"How did I manage to burst this?"
The seemingly frail female doctor sobbed and muttered, "I wonder how much compensation we'll have to pay?"
See here.
Lin Mu glanced again at the burst nutrient solution.
You're quite strong.
"Are you alright?"
Lin Mu asked a question.
The young doctor quickly turned around; her name tag read: Anna.
"What are you doing squeezing nutrient solution here? That's not part of your job."
Lin Mu asked.
"Hello, teacher!"
Anna greeted them first, "I'm a second-year orthopedic specialist trainee, and I'm currently preparing for my specialist exams. I've been assigned to San Rafael Hospital."
"My friend had to go out, so I helped her squeeze out the nutrient solution."
Anna told her everything about herself in one breath.
Lin Mu was both amused and exasperated. "Well, you're quite talented. You're suited to be an orthopedic surgeon. Don't overthink it. Just tell the nurses at the station that you've suffered some damage, and don't forget to clean it up."
After saying that, he left.
On his way back to the orthopedics department, Lin Mu ran into Cody Anderson and chatted with him about the incident.
The latter's eyes lit up immediately.
A top-grade celestial spiritual root for orthopedics!
Lin Mu also realized what was happening and said it to the teacher again.
He didn't concern himself with the rest.
I had barely sat down to rest when a nurse came running over and said that the patient from Salford Royal Hospital had arrived.
Lin Mu hadn't even warmed his seat yet.
"Have him get checked first, I'll come over later."
After Lin Mu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Before I could even doze off for a few minutes, I received an email.
"I'm destined to be a workaholic."
Lin Mu sighed and clicked on it.
This is a consultation regarding Yao Ming's ingrown toenail on his left big toe.
Ke Linmu didn't know much about this, although he had 130 experience points, but there was no need to add them to this.
Moreover, the United States has the capability to resolve Yao Ming's current problems.
Lin Mu gave a brief reply, suggesting they seek treatment in the United States.
Otherwise, it would take more than ten hours to fly over from the United States, and the treatment effect would be so-so.
This time I can finally get some more rest.
When the nurse knocked on the door again, Lin Mu followed her to the ward.
"Hello, Dr. Wood."
As soon as he entered, Park Ji-sung greeted him warmly, with Scholes, who was hospitalized, nearby.
"Hello there."
Lin Mu nodded and took the medical record from the nurse.
The diagnosis from Salford Royal Hospital is correct; Park Ji-sung does have post-traumatic degenerative knee disease.
But he had a different approach to treatment.
Do you have flat feet?
Lin Mu suddenly discovered a key point.
"right."
Park Ji-sung nodded.
He was quite thin as a child and also had naturally flat feet.
Logically speaking, people with flat feet are not suitable for long-distance running because they will tire more easily than people with normal feet.
The reason is also very simple.
Flat feet are actually caused by a collapsed arch in the foot.
What about a normal foot arch?
Just like a spring, it can cushion the ground's reaction force and propel the body forward through mechanical transmission.
Flat feet, on the other hand, are the opposite.
Their buffering capacity is poor.
The feet and knees naturally bear a greater impact.
What is your average running distance per game?
Lin Mu continued to ask.
Park Ji-sung recalled for a moment and said, "About twelve kilometers."
Lin Mu thought to himself, no wonder Park Ji-sung had grade III meniscus degeneration.
It's worn out beyond recognition.
Part of it was removed a long time ago.
This is a bit tricky... Lin Mu's brows furrowed more and more, which frightened Park Ji-sung, who was sweating profusely.
Could it be that I have some malignant disease that hasn't been detected yet?
"The previously removed meniscus cannot be restored temporarily."
Lin Mu hadn't finished speaking.
Park Ji-sung exclaimed in shock, "Temporarily! You mean it can be restored later?"
"Yes, current medical technology is not advanced enough, but there will be opportunities in the future."
Lin Mu nodded.
Before he time-traveled, people had already regenerated their menisci through methods such as stent-assisted regeneration, autologous transplantation, and stem cell therapy.
Lin Mu is also preparing to push things in this direction.
But that's all in the future.
"What I can do now is to meticulously suture and reshape the remaining edges, repair the torn stumps, and perform microfracture treatment on the cartilage area to induce faster regeneration of fibrocartilage."
After looking at the case file, Lin Mu thought for a moment and said, "Your ligaments are intact, but you can have double-bundle ACL reinforcement surgery. This can improve your joint rotational stability and counteract the lateral shear force caused by flat feet."
Lin Mu has a very deep understanding of cruciate ligaments.
A brief surgical plan was developed in just a few minutes.
Park Ji-sung was shocked once again.
He had never heard of ACL double-beam reinforcement before.
But it does sound very reasonable.
With stronger ligaments, the force exertion becomes more stable, thus offsetting the effects of flat feet.
"How long will it take before I can return to the field?"
Park Ji-sung asked a crucial question.
According to Salford Royal Hospital's plan, he can participate in the competition in early February.
He joined Manchester United last summer.
He finally secured his place as a key player by running tirelessly.
If the recovery period is too long.
He was afraid of himself...
"At least two months."
Lin Mu estimated it and said.
After listening to Lin Mu's words, Park Ji-sung was deeply conflicted, but after a moment he made a decision.
"Can I just have my left ankle ligaments treated simply?"
Park Ji-sung believes he cannot give up the starting position he worked so hard to achieve.
Even if it comes at the cost of some health.
Lin Mu didn't try to stop him, "Okay, you can come back in two weeks."
He knew he couldn't persuade them otherwise.
Moreover, many players in the football world today share Park Ji-sung's ideas.
I'm too scared to rest because I'm injured.
Like Sun Jihai in China, and Wu Lei in the future, the latter said in an interview that he didn't dare to tell the coach when he sprained his ankle.
Because the competition among professional players is too fierce.
Especially in wealthy families.
You might just be taking a break for a few months.
But there's no place for you on the team anymore.
"However, I must warn you that if this continues, your old right knee injury will most likely flare up acutely."
Lin Mu said, upholding the professional ethics of a doctor.
Park Ji-sung looked down at her right knee. "I know, thank you, Dr. Wood. Please take care of it."
Lin Mu nodded.
That left ankle ligament injury alone is easy to treat.
Adjunctive therapies include topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory creams, low-frequency pulsed electrotherapy, and infrared thermotherapy.
Regular massage to loosen the surrounding compensatory muscles and fascia should also help.
The rest is progressive rehabilitation training.
After Lin Mu left the ward.
"Parker, even if you had surgery and returned a few months later, you might have played even better."
Scholes advised.
"If we can't recover by then, the World Cup will be affected."
Park Ji-sung actually thought further ahead. He's currently undergoing conservative treatment, so even if it hurts, he just has to bear it.
But what if the recovery from the surgery is not successful?
Or if it affects their competitive performance, then it would be a huge loss.
He dared not gamble.
