Medical assistance is one of the important contents of East-West cooperation. In May of this year, Li Ming, deputy chief physician from the Sixth Hospital of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, arrived at the Department of Orthopedics of the People’s Hospital of Yanyuan County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and officially started the counterpart support work.
After arriving at Yanyuan County People’s Hospital, Li Ming formed a “bone and joint medical team” of Yanyuan County People’s Hospital through technical discussions and experience exchanges with the hospital. Recently, the “Bone and Joint Medical Research Team” successfully completed two new projects and new technologies – knee arthroscopy cruciate ligament reconstruction + medial collateral ligament repair + partial meniscectomy and plasty, shoulder arthroscopy 270 degree release surgery + acromion decompression plasty. Both operations were the first in Yanyuan County.
Team for patients during surgery
The first case of knee arthroscopy for multiple ligament injuries
53-year-old Ms. Yu was in her orchard during fruit thinning. Shen fell from a tree and injured her left knee. Two weeks later, her left knee became more and more swollen, which seriously affected her life. After examination by the hospital, the diagnosis was “anterior and posterior cruciate ligament injury in the left knee, rupture of the medial collateral ligament, and barrel-handle tear of the lateral meniscus”, requiring immediate surgery.
In the beginning, Ms. Yu was not at ease to undergo the operation in the county hospital. After the team experts patiently and professionally explained the operation process, Ms. Yu dispelled her concerns and agreed to the operation. After completing the preoperative examinations, the “Bone and Joint Medical Tackling Team” performed “Knee Arthroscopic Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction + Medial Collateral Ligament Repair + Partial Meniscectomy and Plasty” for Ms. Yu.
“The operation was very successful”, Ms. Yu said gratefully, “I didn’t expect to meet such good doctors near my home, and the operation was done quickly and well!” At present, Ms. Yu has returned to normal life work.
Bone and joint medical team
The first 270-degree shoulder arthroscopic release
Ms. Chen, also 53, is a citizen of Yanyuan County A logistics cleaning staff in the hospital accidentally fell at work 8 months ago and felt pain in his right shoulder instantly. Two months ago, her pain suddenly worsened after labor, and she even became unable to move her arms.
Ms. Chen heard that Yanyuan County People’s Hospital had established a “bone and joint medical team”, she came to the doctor with a mentality of trying it out, and Li Ming clearly diagnosed it as “rotator cuff injury, Frozen shoulder, acromion impingement syndrome”, and arranged for her to undergo “270-degree shoulder arthroscopic release + acromion decompression plasty” as soon as possible.
On the second day after the operation, Ms. Chen’s pain was significantly relieved, and the treatment effect was remarkable. According to Li Ming, arthroscopy is the application of minimally invasive surgery in the field of orthopaedics. It is used in the observation, diagnosis and treatment of intra-articular diseases. It is an advanced modern orthopedic surgery technology and a new trend in the development of orthopedic technology. Endoscopic surgery has less damage, less bleeding, less pain for the patient, and quicker recovery after surgery. Generally, you can go to the ground on the second day after surgery, reducing postoperative complications.
Li Ming said that the establishment of the “Bone and Joint Medical Treatment Team” will not only bring two new technologies and new projects to patients in Yanyuan County and surrounding districts and counties, improve the level of hospital diagnosis and treatment, but also Contribute to relieve the pain of patients.
