"Sure, the shortening is definitely within 1 centimeter!" Director Duan said excitedly.
The difference of 1 cm is not noticeable when walking, and there is no need to deliberately increase the height of the insoles.
Finally, as long as the tightness is appropriate, the operation is completed perfectly.
Director Duan opened the wound again and sucked out the blood in the joint cavity.
Chen Dayong is responsible for pulling the lower limbs.
The ball head of the joint is separated by about 5 mm in the acetabulum.
"Haha, OK, OK, the tightness is just right." Director Duan said excitedly.
"Zhou Ming, please move aside. Camera, zoom in a little and capture this."
Director Duan directed the cameraman to aim at the joint cavity and capture dynamic images of the tightness.
After the filming, Li Zheng dislocated his hip joint and installed a ball head prosthesis.
Reposition the joint.
Director Duan couldn't help but check the range of motion and tightness again.
"It's perfect. Li Zheng, how did you manage to control the shortening within 1 cm without causing excessive tightness in the joints?" Director Duan couldn't help but ask.
This is also the question everyone wants to ask.
Li Zheng nodded and said, "It's a long story. To sum it up, it requires precise measurement before surgery, accurate assessment of soft tissue tightness, thorough loosening of contracted tissue during surgery, and then selecting the appropriate prosthesis to match the length..."
"Are all the sounds recorded?" Duan Jianhui asked the cameraman.
This is very important. Although it is a summary speech, it is also the general outline of this operation.
"Don't worry, Director Duan. I guarantee not to miss a single word." The photographer said confidently.
Director Duan nodded and looked at Li Zheng and said, "Li Zheng, please tell us in detail about the key points and difficulties of the operation after the operation. We will also record it."
Zhou Ming and Zhang Yong also nodded repeatedly.
Now, the two of them looked at Li Zheng with eyes full of admiration.
Even Zhou Ming could not complete a hip replacement independently, let alone Zhang Yong, who had always been an assistant.
For them, today's operation is something they would never dare to do even in their dreams.
But Li Zheng not only completed it, the process was also very smooth and exciting, and the result was perfect.
Li Zheng's understanding of hip replacement has reached an incredible level.
This felt very unreal to them. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, it would be impossible for them to believe it. But the facts were before their eyes, and they had to admit that super geniuses did exist. With Li Zheng's ability and age, there was probably no one else like him in the entire province or even the whole country.
Li Zheng nodded, no problem.
The operation is not over yet.
Director Duan also had no intention of asking Li Zheng to step down.
Subsequent processing is also very important and must be recorded.
Li Zheng used a large amount of normal saline to flush the surgical incision and joint cavity to remove bone debris, blood clots and tissue residues. He then carefully examined the surgical field and completely electrocoagulated some bleeding points to stop bleeding.
"Drainage tube." Li Zheng stretched out his hand.
Lin Xiaomei had already handed it to him.
Place one end of the drainage tube into the joint cavity, then use curved pliers to poke a hole below the incision, pass the drainage tube through the hole, fix it to the skin with needle and thread, and connect the drainage ball.
This can prevent the formation of intra-articular hematoma after surgery.
Li Zheng continued to use absorbable sutures to suture the joint capsule, external rotator muscles, deep fascia, fascia lata, and subcutaneous tissue in turn.
"You see, even suturing requires some care. The joint capsule must be sutured and tightened to avoid joint dislocation after surgery. Each layer of tissue must be aligned neatly and tightly, leaving no dead space, to avoid postoperative fluid accumulation and infection." Director Duan took the opportunity to educate the doctors in his department and recorded it at the same time so that they can all learn from it in the future. After all, although Li Zheng sutured quickly and well, there was no explanation, so it was not so perfect.
Finally, the skin is sutured.
"Li Zheng, my niece is not married yet and has no partner. Please sew something beautiful for her." Director Duan said seriously.
Li Zheng nodded. The female patient was not ugly. If it weren't for this disease, she would have been married at the age of 28 in this era.
"4-0 absorbable sutures." Li Zheng said.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, wondering what such a thin thread was needed for.
The circulating nurse opened it and handed it to Lin Xiaomei immediately.
Everyone stared curiously.
Li Zheng began to suture the subcutaneous tissue intermittently, and each stitch was very neat.
After the stitches were completed, the skin of the wound had completely healed.
"Haha, I've never seen this suturing technique before, but the effect is surprisingly good." Director Duan laughed.
Everyone knows what Director Duan means. It’s not that he has never seen interrupted subcutaneous sutures before, but he has never seen them done with such thin thread.
Li Zheng nodded and said, "Using thin thread can minimize the impact of knots on the smoothness of the skin."
Zhou Ming stood behind Li Zheng, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Aren't you afraid that the stitches are too thin and will cut your skin?"
All the doctors present had this question.
Li Zheng shook his head and said, "No, I sewed it together with the dermis. It's strong enough."
Everyone nodded. It was impossible for a doctor who could perform such a good operation to let this last step go wrong.
The operation is finally over, and everyone feels a little reluctant to leave.
"6-0 absorbable suture." Li Zheng said again.
"Um?"
Everyone was confused.
Isn't it already sewn?
How can I sew with such thin thread?
Amid everyone's puzzled gaze, Li Zheng picked up the needle and thread again.
I saw him start to perform subcutaneous continuous suture again.
The operation is very delicate.
Director Duan almost put his face against the wound.
