The Sports Healer Starting from Milan

Chapter 48 Zhao Ruirui's Medical Case

At Inter Milan's monthly medical department meeting.

Lin Mu said, "Ade has some chronic injuries, mainly in the medial collateral ligament of his right knee. I asked him about it before, and he said that sometimes his knee would suddenly buckle when he changed direction."

This was a problem he had discovered before.

He speculated that this situation was related to Adriano's injury in March.

Adriano returned to the game in the second week.

However, the tiny tears in the old wound area are not enough to be captured by conventional imaging, yet they are always difficult to heal.

"If possible, I would recommend surgery; ACL double-bundle reconstruction can improve his chronic instability."

Lin Mu looked at head coach Mancini as he spoke.

The latter pursed his lips upon hearing this, seemingly holding an opposing view.

"Can't it be fixed?"

"Medical director Franco Comby asked."

"The ligament stumps from chronic injuries are of poor quality, have low healing potential, and the repair effect is far inferior to that of reconstruction."

Lin Mu shook his head, "But there's no rush for the surgery. It can be done during the offseason, but you'll miss one to two months of the new season."

He also knew that Inter Milan was currently in a crucial period of fighting for points.

They have already qualified for the Champions League knockout stage.

If they can overtake Juventus and win the mid-season championship before Christmas.

That would be a huge boost to the team's morale.

The second half of the season is even more important, with the Champions League knockout stage, the league, and the Italian Cup, so Adriano cannot afford to miss it.

"For now, we can just do some conservative treatment."

Lin Mu suggested.

Mancini nodded. "Let's ask Adriano for his opinion. I think this is fine."

He didn't want to keep Adriano on his toes indefinitely.

However, as the head coach, he must think from a holistic perspective and consider the team's performance.

Lin Mu then told about the other people's situations.

Overall, apart from Materazzi, Inter Milan's players are relatively healthy and can hold out until the winter break.

"Pay close attention to fatigue management; be wary of a surge in injuries in December."

Finally, Mancini made a request to the medical department.

For a team

What I fear most is a wave of injuries, because it's not just one player getting injured, but one player after another getting injured.

Why does Arsenal often collapse in the future?

It's because they experience a wave of injuries every spring.

As Milan enters the era of big data, at Lin Mu's suggestion, Inter Milan has also partnered with companies such as Amazon to establish a cutting-edge health management system.

In this way.

The team is fully capable of turning injuries from an uncontrollable variable into a manageable risk factor.

However, everything is still in its early stages.

There is still a lot of data to be collected, and the model needs to be gradually improved.

Before that.

Lin Mu could only rely on his own eyes to judge the players' physical condition.

Time flies.

Lin Mu maintains a pace of three surgeries a day.

They are consolidating their skills.

12 month 4 day.

Inter Milan won their fourteenth league match.

Juventus also narrowly defeated Florence by one goal, continuing to lead the Serie A standings.

Lin Mu was somewhat helpless.

Juventus are simply too strong this season.

However, after the season ended, the Calciopoli scandal broke out... As long as Inter Milan is still second, they are actually champions.

It's just that they won the championship in this way.

Will Inter Milan players and fans be happy?

Lin Mu didn't dwell on it and glanced at his email.

China Sports Network: The deputy director of the Track and Field Management Center, in summarizing the overall performance of Chinese track and field in 2005, made a frank statement: "We haven't made any substantial progress this year." His reasoning was that while we won two Olympic gold medals last year, we didn't win any gold medals at this year's World Championships. We don't have many strong events, and we don't have many top athletes. At our current level, achieving good results at the 2008 Olympics will be extremely difficult.

There are other reports below.

"Liu Xiang has officially started his winter training. He had been in a period of adjustment since the East Asian Games. Coach Sun Haiping said... This winter training is very important for Liu Xiang, and he is now starting to prepare for the 2008 Olympics. Everyone feels a different kind of pressure than in previous years."

Another email arrived.

"Zhao Ruirui's medical record..."

Lin Mu recalled Zhao Shun, whom he had met at the banquet.

It's been a long time.

He has not received the medical records from the other party.

I thought this matter was going to be dropped.

I clicked on it and glanced at it briefly.

He discovered something suspicious.

Because Zhao Ruirui's surgery in April lasted 4 hours.

The surgery to remove the metal plate from the lower leg should take up to an hour, and with anesthesia and surgical preparation, it will take about two hours.

Then there is a high possibility that the screw may have broken and be difficult to remove.

At the end of the case, periostitis was also present on the left leg, indicating that a stress fracture had also occurred in the left tibia.

Domestic experts concluded that they were more concerned about Zhao Ruirui's left leg.

But Lin Mu didn't think so.

"It would be best to have a radionuclide bone scan done."

Lin Mu wrote in the email.

Although radionuclide bone scanning is the gold standard for detecting bone metastases of tumors.

However, it is also an excellent way to diagnose occult fractures and assess sports injuries.

However, considering the situation in China, Lin Mu added, "It would be best if we could do it in Italy, but Hong Kong Island would also be fine."

Although the single-photon emission computer required for radionuclide bone scanning has been introduced into China.

However, the more advanced PET-CT is still in its infancy and is a prized possession of only a very few national-level centers.

Zhao Ruirui may not be able to get a turn.

After sending the email, Lin Mu rested his chin on his hand and searched for relevant literature.

Zhao Ruirui's condition is likely a stress fracture.

The second fracture after the first surgery led to nonunion and heterotopic ossification. Coupled with compensatory overuse of the left leg, the entire lower limb fell into a vicious cycle.

Lin Mu originally thought that intramedullary nail fixation would be sufficient.

But after reviewing the medical records...

He knew it was far from enough.

It may be necessary to use autologous iliac bone graft and transplant a vascularized bone flap.

That's the difficulty...

Lin Mu glanced at the levels of his various spells.

have to.

Some have gained experience points.

"Surgery next year will be perfectly feasible."

Lin Mu muttered, "If they still want to force their way into the World Championships, it will probably have to be postponed until the year after next, and there will be no way to cure it completely. Let's see if Zhao Shun can persuade his niece."

He has written everything he needed to say in the email.

The rest is up to the individual.

Thinking about this...

Lin Mu got up to check on the patients. Two weeks had passed since Raul's surgery.

I just entered the ward.

Lin Mu then heard Raul smile at a handsome little boy and say, "Dad is in good health. When the Champions League starts next year, you'll be able to see me play football again."

"Dr. Wood"

Raul looked at the trees and spoke with respect.

"Dad, is this the doctor who cured you?"

Raul's son, Jorge, raised his head, his bright eyes filled with admiration.

"right."

"Raul said."

"Then I'll become a doctor to treat your illnesses in the future!" Jorge said confidently, patting his chest.

Lin Mu couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright, you can be my student from now on and treat your father's illness."

After teasing Jorge for a while, Lin Mu examined Raul.

The recovery is excellent.

The blood supply area at the meniscus suture site has also increased slightly.

Just like Asamoah.

Lin Mu was relieved.
