Chapter 103 Totti's Ankle Bended at Ninety Degrees
Anna immediately stood up and looked at Lin Mu with admiration.
She hadn't really heard of Lin Mu's name when she was at the St. Raphael College of Life and Health, but after August of last year...
She discovered that legends about the trees were circulating at the school.
She specifically studied several of Lin Mu's techniques, and the more she looked, the more she could feel the gap between the two of them, a gap as wide as a chasm.
So he silently made Lin Mu his target to catch up with.
"You're in your second year of orthopedic specialist training, right?"
Lin Mu asked as he walked.
"Yes, I'm preparing for my associate's degree exams. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll pass."
Anna thought Lin Mu disliked her.
"Let me think about how to guide you. Never mind, come with me to the surgery later and write down anything you don't understand."
Lin Mu had never been a teacher.
I might as well go straight to the actual battle. Anyway, with my skills, I won't feel any pressure having Anna as my third support.
"I'll have Pete find you a workstation later."
Next to Lin Mu's office, there are several empty rooms.
Since we're already here, let's prepare to face the terrifying workload.
Anna nodded with a big smile.
Before Lin Mu could even open the door, the phone rang again.
Lin Mu took a deep breath and after a long pause, he said, "Hello, this is Wood."
"Wood!"
"Francisco Totti is injured. He was kicked from behind by an opponent during the match against Empoli, and his left ankle twisted almost 90 degrees outward!"
"The hospital in Turin diagnosed a moderate fracture of the fibula connecting the left lower leg and ankle, along with damage to the ligaments and joint tissues of the left ankle. Surgery is necessary!"
"The doctors there believe Totti will miss the remainder of the season and the World Cup!"
"Totti's agent asked me to ask for your opinion!"
The voice of my college classmate Luca came through the phone.
Lin Mu put the phone aside and asked Anna to bring him a piece of paper so he could write down Totti's condition.
Then think about it.
It's already the end of February, and the World Cup is in early June, so the recovery period is more than three months.
That is, less than a hundred days.
That's extremely difficult.
Moderate fractures of the fibula with restriction require fixation with a plate.
If you forgo a large incision and opt for a minimally invasive procedure, you can shorten the callus formation period.
The returns aren't great, but the risks are too high, so people aren't keen on using timber.
The key is the ankle.
Just hearing about Totti's injury, you know it's very serious; traditional ankle ligament repair surgery probably won't work.
It needs improvement.
Lin Mu stared intently at his system interface, then at the grayed-out surgical technique under the ankle joint medical tree.
"Ankle ligament repair surgery..."
Lin Mu continued looking down.
I did learn some improved techniques before I transmigrated, but the key is that I haven't practiced them much. I'll have to practice them after I add some points later.
And that alone is not enough.
It also requires ankle joint capsule tightening and suturing, extensor retinaculum tightening, etc., which require 900 experience points to reach level four.
In addition, there is minimally invasive internal fixation with a plate for the fibula.
The experience points I just gained are about to run out before I can even enjoy them.
"It can be done."
Lin Mu hesitated for a moment before saying, "But we need to use PRP plasma injections, otherwise the recovery won't be as fast, and this might be considered doping by WADA. But we can apply for an exemption for medical use in advance. Give my phone number to the patient."
Luca agreed and then hung up the phone.
Lin Mu then received a call from Totti's personal therapist, Scala.
But the technique that Lin Mu described was too crazy.
After stammering for a while, Scala handed the phone to Mariani, the head of orthopedics at Molinet Hospital.
They have to be from the same industry.
Professor Mariani remained silent after hearing Lin Mu's words.
But he did not question Lin Mu.
I just silently envied Roberto Mochini a million times over.
"Dr. Wood, is what you're saying true? Can I really make it to the World Cup? Please don't lie to me, this is very important to me."
Even someone as arrogant as Totti uses polite language when he picks up the phone.
He was genuinely scared.
During this period, countless pessimistic voices echoed in his ears.
Saying things like "His career is over," "Lippi came to see him with flowers, everyone knows what that means," and "He will be an ordinary fan in Germany," Totti didn't want to miss the World Cup in this way.
As for PRP technology, he had looked into it and the chance of it being misjudged was not high.
At worst, he can get tested beforehand.
If it doesn't work out, then we won't participate in the World Cup.
Taking a gamble is better than having no hope at all.
"I have no habit of lying."
To Totti, the sound of the trees was more beautiful than the most exquisite music at that moment.
He immediately decided to transfer to San Rafael Hospital.
"I will make preparations in advance."
After Lin Mu finished speaking, he searched for relevant videos and information.
In the seventh minute of Roma's match against Empoli, Empoli defender Vanigli fouled Totti from behind, causing his left ankle to twist at nearly a 90-degree angle as he fell.
There were also post-match reports.
"I didn't want to hurt anyone, especially a star like Totti. I feel guilty and I want to apologize to him publicly. I ran too fast. I want to visit Totti and explain everything to him."
The photo shows Vanigli with tears in his eyes.
Lin Mu watched the video again.
Totti's injury doesn't seem to be entirely attributable to Vanigli.
The position and posture of his fall were fatal.
His body weight was completely on his unsteady left foot.
"What bad luck!"
Lin Mu couldn't help but complain.
He then squandered all 1,300 experience points.
Ankle ligament repair surgery: Lv4 (1/250)
[Ankle joint capsule tightening suture: Lv4 (1/250)]
[Extensor Support Band Tightening: Lv4 (1/250)]
[Internal fixation with fibular plate: Lv4 (1/300)]
Several of these techniques are traditional techniques.
However, with so many arthroscopic surgeries performed on trees, the technology has reached a level where it can be improved.
"But I still need to practice."
Lin Mu felt a sense of urgency.
I didn't expect to become busy again right after the Winter Olympics ended.
Hopefully, it won't all be for nothing.
With that thought in mind, Lin Mu went to the hospital's autopsy room.
The doctors in the second cohort of the ACL double-bundle reconstruction training program next door are performing a simulated surgery.
Lin Mu went inside.
Previously, the doctors were all from the United States and Europe.
Now there are a few Asian faces mixed in. Lin Mu remembers that the middle-aged man sitting on the left is the deputy director of the orthopedics department at Jishuitan Hospital.
My deskmate was an outstanding young doctor from Yanjing Third Hospital.
Both of them had experience as visiting scholars at top hospitals in Japan.
Most importantly, the large number of domestic patients means that their annual surgical volume is much higher than that of doctors in Europe and America.
There is also a top orthopedic surgeon from Japan.
"Dr. Wood!"
As soon as Lin Mu entered, everyone greeted him.
Previously, they only knew how to perform single-beam reconstruction and thought that double-beam reconstruction was nothing special. But after coming to San Rafael Hospital, they realized what it meant to be narrow-minded.
Even the most arrogant orthopedic elites have toned down their arrogance at this moment.
"Hello everyone, today we are..."
Lin Mu roughly explained the formula for different angles of the knee joint based on the courseware he had prepared before.
He then went to the adjacent anatomy room to practice the newly added surgical techniques.
"Arthroscopic surgery is still very challenging!"
Lin Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
To be honest, he underestimated those improved techniques a little, but after adjusting his mindset, he continued practicing.
Until the sun sets in the west.
Lin Mu put down the arthroscopy in his hand, thinking that using a model still wouldn't work.
The system's capabilities are unusable.
It has to be a real person.
"Totti won't be able to get to the hospital until tomorrow. He can go back and think about the surgical procedure and see if there's anything he should be careful about."
After returning to his office, Lin Mu habitually checked the sports news.
A piece of news about the Chinese women's volleyball team caught his attention.
"After the flag-raising ceremony, as always, the Chinese women's volleyball team officially began its closed training camp in Chenzhou. The director of the Volleyball Management Center said that the women's volleyball team should learn from the tenacious Olympic spirit of Zhang Dan and Zhang Hao."
"In 2006, a year of improvement, we overcame injuries and achieved our best results at the World Championships and the Asian Games."
There is another link below.
It refers to the General Administration of Sport publicly criticizing the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Because in the Athens Olympics final, they lost the first two games and then won the third. Last year, in four crucial matches, they won the first two games and then lost the third, wasting a great opportunity.
This may be related to the lack of fighting spirit in the women's volleyball team.
Lin Mu closed the webpage before finishing reading, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.
As a doctor, he knew how hard these athletes worked.
Can...
Lin Mu had just stepped out when he suddenly saw several people holding signs at the hospital entrance.
The note read, "Dr. Wood, please save Totti," and "Don't let him be fooled by fate." Lin Mu wondered if Totti had such a great influence.
The players haven't even arrived in Milan yet, but the fans have already come?
Who else leaked the information?
After thinking for a moment, Lin Mu decided to go back to the hospital to find Hill.
"Grant, what's wrong?"
Lin Mu saw Hill sitting by the window, his expression unpredictable, and he wondered what he was thinking.
Hill sighed. "It's about the team."
Well known.
In the NBA, it is not permissible for players to seek medical treatment privately; they must accept the diagnosis and treatment arrangements made by the team doctor.
This is understandable.
Because, in a sense, players are the team's assets.
However, surgery carries risks.
The team must ensure that the surgical plan is in the team's best interest.
Like Hill.
The Magic somehow got wind of it and called his agent, Lon-Babby, yesterday.
"Have you considered who would be responsible if something went wrong during Grant's surgery?"
Who will compensate for the $1690 million?
"Grant has breached the terms of the contract, and I demand that he return immediately for our evaluation!"
The Magic's general manager gave Ron Babby a thorough dressing-down.
Ron-Babby was furious.
Nobody knows what the Magic are like.
How could we not know?
Why did McGrady play with a back injury at the time?
Why did Hardaway return to competition so quickly after only twenty days of recovery following his cartilage surgery?
Why was Hill asked to participate in training and play early after undergoing ankle fracture surgery when he first joined the team?
Their performance this season has been so poor that they're probably trying to protect their results and prevent Hill from having surgery.
Hill also has one year left on his seven-year contract.
The Magic did indeed pay a sunk cost for Hill's frequent injuries.
But everyone knows why.
