The Sports Healer Starting from Milan

Chapter 73: A Phone Call from Manchester United

"By the way, you've been invited to several orthopedic conferences recently, such as the Metatech Knee Symposium, the Tokyo Orthopedic Disease Lecture, and the AO Orthopedic Forum."

Roberto Mochini pointed to the invitation on the table: "You should have received the email too. What are your thoughts?"

Although he believes that doctors should prioritize technical skills.

But they also know the importance of brand recognition.

The trees are still a bit young.

Therefore, he supported Lin Mu's idea regardless of whether Lin Mu went or not.

"I don't think it's very prestigious; let's wait for the World Orthopaedics Congress."

Lin Mu shook his head.

He's not someone who's all talk and no action.

They believe that attending these lectures is a way to boost their reputation.

It's a bit of a waste of time.

Instead, I'd rather perform more surgeries or read more papers to continue learning and improving.

"Judging from your expression, you've prepared example problems?"

Roberto Mochini became interested.

"I had a complex surgery done in China, which was Zhao Ruirui's arthroscopic debridement, iliac bone autologous bone graft, and tibial intramedullary nailing. I'm going to share this full-stack technique as a topic."

Lin Mu had really thought it through.

So why did he choose this surgery?

Besides the fact that this surgery is quite difficult.

Also, because this surgery was performed in China, where the country's medical capabilities are currently limited, it would be beneficial to use this opportunity to raise some profile.

The days that follow might be a little easier.

Lin Mu's reluctance to return to China does not mean he is unwilling to do what he can for the country.

"That's great! I've heard about your surgical skills from Li..."

Roberto Mochini's conversation drifted off-topic again.

Lin Mu could only listen patiently. In fact, since he transmigrated to this day, he has been praised almost every day.

They're already immune.

......

It was already dark when I came out of the teacher's office.

Lin Mu arrived at the laboratory.

ACL dual-bundle reconstruction is still in its early stages and requires more data and standards.

In a sense, I know the answer.

The reverse process is even simpler.

Looking at the tibia and femur on the table, there were two tools that looked like rulers next to them.

This is a new gadget he made.

It's not perfect yet.

"Dual tunnel positioning ruler..."

The trees gave it a name.

As the name suggests.

It is used to determine the standard angle and depth of bone tunnels.

If a complete version were made, it could solve the double-tunnel collision problem that many doctors fear most.

He remembered that his cheap senior brother Malpheus had also made some kind of locator.

They also obtained a European patent.

Is it unreasonable for someone to obtain a global patent?

Lin Mu chuckled and continued adjusting the parameters.

Just then.

His phone rang.

Nothing good ever comes of it...

Lin Mu took off his gloves to answer the phone, and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. "Hello, this is Wood."

"Dr. Wood, this is the medical department of Manchester United Football Club. We've recently encountered a difficult problem. Scholes..."

Lin Mu listened to the Manchester United team doctor's description.

Lin Mu frowned slightly.

A few minutes later he got a general idea of ​​the situation.

During the match, Scholes collided head-on with an opponent.

After that, my right eye experienced persistent blurred vision, photophobia, glare, and a grayish field of vision.

They just announced he's out for the rest of the season.

Several top ophthalmologists and neurologists in the UK failed to find any clear organic lesions.

in short.

I just can't figure out why this is happening.

It can only be attributed to post-traumatic optic nerve dysfunction or latent nerve damage.

Sending images and medical records to major hospitals around the world was useless.

Manchester United's management had no choice but to try anything, so they had the medical department continue communicating with other hospitals.

Scholes' season-ending injury is a minor matter.

If things don't improve afterward, his career will be over.

Whether considering Scholes' importance to Manchester United or the fact that the current Manchester United team is more humane, this is a significant factor.

They all wanted to cure Scholes as soon as possible.

Sure enough, some people have noticed that Lin Mu's reputation is growing at international medical forums.

Then they called.

How did they know my private phone number...? Lin Mu was wondering about this at the moment. Could it be that The Sun exposed it?

She doesn't have any scandals.

Since he was neither a star athlete nor a celebrity, Lin Mu felt it was necessary to change his phone number.

He didn't want to be harassed by endless phone calls in the future.

"Let me think about it."

Lin Mu suddenly remembered the important matter.

In medicine, brain problems are the most difficult to treat because of their complex structure.

Lin Mu, however, studied orthopedics.

I can only say I have some knowledge of neurosurgery, neurology, and the like.

However, he could roughly guess why none of the hospitals could find Scholes's problem.

Modern imaging technology is not that sophisticated.

Microedema, microischemia, and minor injuries cannot be detected on conventional CT or MRI.

Will I be able to see it myself?

Lin Mu had never really paid attention to the more detailed aspects of the nervous system.

"The physiological structure might not be the problem; it's just a blockage in nerve conduction. Perhaps you could have the patient come to Milan?"

Lin Mu offered suggestions.

Whether the other party accepts it or not is their business.

Anyway, I didn't make any guarantees.

The other party said they would consider it carefully.

Lin Mu didn't take it seriously. He went to get a new SIM card and sent a text message to a friend he knew.

The next morning...

Franceschini's incessant phone calls woke Lin Mu up.

"Wood, have you seen it? Martens' team just published a new paper, specifically targeting your dual-beam reconstruction technique!"

"I've sent the paper to your email. Please check it and tell me how to respond!"

Lin Mu moved his phone a little further away.

turn on computer.

The first sentence of the paper states: For athletes with cruciate ligament injuries, the standard for clinical success is not biological anatomical reconstruction, but the ability to return to the field and long-term joint health.

That's actually not wrong.

Lin Mu agreed with this statement and continued reading.

"Our team's recent research shows that, regardless of the surgical method used after ACL reconstruction, the proportion of athletes who recover to their pre-injury competitive level is between 60% and 75%."

"Therefore, there is no statistically significant difference in the technology substitution rate between single-beam and dual-beam systems."

"Since the difference in surgical techniques does not change the final result, what is the real variable that determines whether an athlete can return to their peak? The answer is functional recovery and psychological reconstruction, which are more important than exquisite surgical techniques."

"Even if the ligament structure is perfect, athletes will be afraid of pain and injury, so they will be conservative in their movements, which will directly lead to a decline in their competitive level."

"in other words."

"The idea that structural repair alone can completely solve the problem needs to be changed; otherwise, it's better not to have surgery at all."

"..."

I didn't feel much after seeing the trees.

He even felt that Martens was out of options.

It's already a dead end.

Therefore, the only way to attack ACL double-beam reconstruction is by substituting a concept.

Fortunately, with the help of orthopedic experts such as Fu Haoqiang, he has recently accumulated a lot of usable clinical data.

I'll write a paper about it later.

Go and fight Martens in the ring, and completely crush them.

To prevent people from coming here to disgust you for no reason.
