Under, Chinese medicine flavin

Chapter 228 Aleph Moves

"I'm flavin, a Chinese medicine doctor, may I ask if Dr. Mutu from the orthopedics department is there?"

Huang Su picked up the office phone and dialed the orthopaedic office of the inpatient department.

The end of the year is approaching, and there is not much work for Flavin in the past two days. With free time, it is also to make plans for the next stage of Aleph's treatment.

Huang Su went to Mutu to ask Aleph about the correction of spinal curvature.

I don't understand flavin in orthopaedics, so I naturally have to find Mutu, a Chinese and Western orthopaedic specialist, to discuss the treatment plan.

On the phone, an orthopedic doctor replied, "Hello Director Huang! Doctor Mutu is going to the ward now. Do you have anything to ask him?"

"There is a patient in hand, and I want to ask him something." Huang Su then asked: "When will Dr. Mutu have time, I will go to him."

On the phone, the orthopaedic doctor said, "It's been half an hour since Dr. Mutu went out for a ward round. Dr. Huang, if you want to find Dr. Mutu, you can come to the orthopaedic inpatient department in another half an hour."

"Thank you!"

After thanking, Huang Su hung up the phone.

Taking advantage of the time now, Huang Su found Aleph's medical records from his desk and sorted out his medical records and X-rays.

Raising his hand and looking at the watch on his wrist, he felt that the time was almost up. Huang Su took Aleph's medical records and walked out of his office.

Walking into the office of the orthopaedic department of the inpatient department, Huang Su saw Mutu sitting at his workstation and carefully looking over the medical records.

"Mutu!"

Mutu put down the medical records in his hand, Xunsheng saw Huang Su, and walked over to Huang Su happily: "I said Director Huang, you are not in the research group, why are you free to come to me!"

Huang Su moved to the dormitory of the research group, Mutu also moved out of the hospital dormitory, and found a place to live outside. In addition, both of them had work to do. The roommates they lived together for more than half a year had not seen each other for a long time. .

Huang Su lightly beat Mutu's chest, and said jokingly, "Why, I can't come to find you yet."

The two chatted for a while, and Huang Su began to say: "I have a patient with syringomyelia in my hand. He also has spinal curvature. Why don't you come to ask this orthopedic expert for advice?"

Hearing syringomyelia, Mutu frowned and looked at Flavin with a solemn expression: "Syringomyelia!"

Flavin briefly introduced Aleph's condition and his own treatment.

Hearing Huang Su's explanation, Mu Tu's face softened a little, and nodded in agreement: "Syringomyelia, this type of syndrome is classified as atrophy, and only Chinese medicine has hope of cure."

Mutu was born in a family of orthopedics, and he was very familiar with the classics of traditional Chinese medicine, and he naturally knew how to treat this disease.

Saying that, Mutu pulled Huang Su and said, "Go, let me go to the conference room for a detailed discussion."

Walking into an orthopaedic conference room, Mutu turned on the light box and said, "Did you bring the patient's film?"

"Brought it!"

Flavin took out Aleph's film from the medical record folder and handed it to Mutu.

Mutu hung the film on the light box and looked at the S-shaped scoliosis with a solemn look on his face.

Huang Su asked: "Mutu, can you see if the scoliosis can be corrected by the method of traditional Chinese medicine?"

"The patient's scoliosis is too serious, and the bending angle is far greater than 45 degrees. I don't recommend using traditional Chinese medicine bone setting for treatment. Although Chinese medicine bone setting can treat scoliosis, the risk of such a severe scoliosis is too great. , I dare not do it. I suggest that surgery is the best treatment.”

The treatment of scoliosis can be divided into traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine often uses acupuncture and bone-setting techniques at the same time.

Bone setting mainly adjusts the articular process of the spinal column and the positional relationship between the nerve root and the surrounding tissue structure by pushing and pressing, so as to improve the symptoms of scoliosis to a certain extent, maintain a dynamic balance of the spine, and correct the scoliosis. .

Acupuncture is used in conjunction with bone setting to relieve and relax the acupuncture points around the spine, so as to protect the meridians.

However, there is a certain risk in Chinese medicine for scoliosis greater than 45 degrees. For such patients, out of responsibility for the patient, Chinese medicine maintains a cautious attitude and recommends correction through surgery.

Western medicine treatment methods include conservative treatment and surgical treatment.

Conservative treatment is mainly aimed at patients with a relatively small curvature of the spine, and can be treated with braces, which need to be customized and worn for a long time.

With bracing, the curvature of the spine can be gradually corrected.

At the same time, patients should also strengthen the muscles around the spine, balance the muscle strength around the spine, stabilize the spine from the inside, and correct the curvature of the spine.Exercise methods mainly include Xiaoyan flying, goat stand up and so on.

Xiao Yanfei mainly lands on the abdomen, and lifts the upper and lower body off the ground at the same time. Usually, it needs to be maintained at the highest point for 1 minute.

Goat standing is mainly to fix the hip joint and both lower limbs, so that the upper body can perform flexion and extension activities.

These two are very mature scoliosis physiotherapy methods in Western medicine, and they can also improve the clinical symptoms of spinal curvature. Each training time is 20-30 minutes, but it should be noted that the exercise should be done according to the doctor's advice and according to your actual situation. Row.

Surgical treatment is mainly aimed at the curvature of the spine greater than 45 degrees. Open reduction, bone graft fusion, and internal fixation are performed to comprehensively correct the curvature of the spine through surgery. The above conservative treatment is also required after surgery to consolidate the effect of surgical treatment.

After listening to Mutu's explanation, Huang Su frowned slightly, and it seemed that he thought it was too simple.

"The patient's development has been seriously affected by spondylolisthesis. The 15-year-old child looks like ten years old now. The treatment plan I plan is to correct the child's spine through traditional Chinese medicine bone setting, and then cooperate with my prescription to promote growth. Traditional Chinese medicine, which can restore the child's growth and development."

Huang Su still frowned, looked at Mutu with hope and said, "Can this child's syringomyelia undergo surgery?"

"Whether it can be treated by surgery depends on the specific condition of the patient." Mutu then asked: "Whether the patient has muscle atrophy now."

"The patient's upper limb muscle atrophy is very serious now, and now the upper limb can no longer move." Huang Su said with a long sigh.

Hey!
"If the patient has severe muscle atrophy and is not suitable for spinal correction surgery, it will easily damage the nerves of the spine." Mutu also sighed regretfully, and continued: "Well, let me take a look at the patient's specific details with you. The situation, we are discussing the treatment plan."

Afterwards, Mutu briefly explained the relationship between scoliosis and syringomyelia to the patient.

Scoliosis is a common complication of syringomyelia.

Syringomyelia is a chronic and progressive disease of the spinal cord. The disease is characterized by the formation of tubular cavities and gliosis in the spinal cord. It usually occurs in the cervical and upper thoracic spinal cords, and can also extend up and down.Scoliosis occurs in the spine under the action of cavities and gliosis.

The incidence of scoliosis in patients with syringomyelia is 25%-85%.

For patients with syringomyelia combined with scoliosis, spinal orthopedic surgery is prone to complications of spinal cord and nerve injury, which increases the risk of scoliosis surgery.

Correct clinical assessment of scoliosis and syringomyelia is of great significance for the choice of direct orthopedic surgery or staged surgery.

At present, it is generally believed that when scoliosis progresses to a severe degree and there is an indication for surgery, for patients with no obvious symptoms of neurological damage, direct spinal deformity correction surgery can achieve satisfactory results without preventive surgery for syringomyelia.

For patients with syringomyelia who have symptoms such as muscle weakness and asymmetric limb development, if the syringomyelia is not treated in advance, and scoliosis surgery is performed directly, there will be higher neurological complications.

Just when Huang Su heard Mutu's explanation, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

"Mutu, I'll take a call first."

Huang Su took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a call from Risong that day. Huang Su hurriedly connected the call, thinking: As the year is approaching, there will be no unexpected incident in the research group.

"That Risong, what happened to the research group?"

"Director, nothing happened to the research group, it's Aleph!"

On the phone, Risong's tone was very excited: "Director, Billie just said that Aleph's hand can move, Director, come back and have a look!"

"Okay, I get it! I'll be there soon!" Huang Su hung up the phone and said to Mutu, "It was the call from Risong that day, saying that Aleph's hand can be moved, or you can do it now. Come with me to see how the patient is doing."

"Okay! Just wait for me, I'll go to the office and put on the down jacket."

Soon, Huang Su and Mutu walked into the inpatient area of ​​the new building.

Mutu looked at the newly renovated building novelly and said, "This is the first time I walked into this new building. This new building is well decorated. I didn't expect you to take up the building first."

Saying that, Mutu's mouth was full of envy.

"Where did you come from so much nonsense!" Said Huang Su and pulled Mutu into the elevator.

Coming to the eighth floor, it has become quiet here.Yesterday, the last tumor patient who had finished chemotherapy a year ago was sent away, and there are not many patients in the entire ward.

Now the ward on the eighth floor, in addition to Bi Lige's mother and son, are cancer patients from other cities in Mongolia who came to seek medical treatment.

In the past two years, Huang Su's fame has also spread to Prairie City, and it is well-known in Mengjiang.

Huang Su and Mutu walked into the corridor and saw that Risong was already waiting for him at the door of Aleph's ward.

"Director, you have come, and now we are waiting for you!"

Without giving Huang Su time to speak, Risong dragged Huang Su directly into the ward, and Mu Tu walked into the ward with him.

Seeing Huang Su come in, Bi Lige walked up to Huang Su excitedly and said, "Director Huang, my son's hands are all gone. After five years, his hands can finally move again!"

As he spoke, Billieger covered his mouth and cried while choking.

"Patient's mother, don't get excited, tell me what's going on."

Billiege calmed down a little and said, "When I was eating breakfast for my son, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed my arm. Director Huang, after five years, my son can finally hold me again. hand."

As he spoke, Billie covered his mouth again and wept slowly.

Naturally, Huang Su could understand the current mood of the family members, and said to He Hui, "Take care of the patient's family members."

He walked to the hospital bed and looked at Aleph, whose eyes were already red.

Huang Su bent down and said softly to Aleph, "Aleph, move your hand and show the doctor's uncle if it's okay!"

I saw Aleph nodded slowly.

However, after waiting for a long time, Aleph's hands on the bed did not respond at all.

Aleph turned his head to look at the hands that were out of his control, his eyes showed anxiety, bit his lip, and stared at his hands fiercely.

Seeing Aleph's anxious and excited look, Huang Su gently encouraged: "Aleph, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, take your time, take your time!"

However, no matter how hard Aleph tried, his hands were still uncontrollably lying on the bed quietly.

Seeing his son returning to his previous appearance, Bi Lige excitedly grabbed Huang Su's arm tightly and explained eagerly: "Director Huang, you have to believe me! My son's hand really moved just now, and I can feel him grabbing it. Judging by the temperature of my wrist, everything I say is true, Director Huang, you must believe me."

Huang Su gently patted Bi Lige's arm and comforted: "Mother Aleph, don't get excited, I believe your words!"

Huang Su's understanding did not appease Bi Lige's emotions, but made her even more excited.

Bi Lige grabbed Huang Su's arm and asked a little harder: "Director Huang, why can't my son's hand move now, it can still be moved just now."

After speaking, Billie turned his head eagerly to search for Na Risong and He Hui, because He Hui and Na Risong just saw that Aleph really moved his hand.

That day Song knew what Billieger was looking at himself, and stepped forward to explain: "Director, when we came up for inspection just now, Aleph's hand really moved."

At this time, Mutu, who had been observing behind him, suddenly said: "This is a normal phenomenon of the recovery from damage to the meridians. The sudden movement of the hand indicates that the nerves and meridians on the patient's spine have begun to be repaired. As for why the hand suddenly cannot be moved. It shows that the nerves and meridians of the spine are still seriously damaged due to syringomyelia.”

Mutu walked up to Billiege and said, "Mom of the patient, don't worry, this is a good thing, it means that the medicine prescribed by Director Huang has already started to work, and it is only a matter of time before the hands return to normal."

Seeing Mutu, Bi Lige turned to Huang Su and asked, "Director Huang, who is this doctor?"

Huang Su pulled Mutu and introduced: "This is an orthopedic doctor Mutu, an orthopedic doctor who has studied both Chinese and Western. I invited you to show your son how to correct his scoliotic spine."

Hearing that he was invited to see his son, Billieg put on a warm smile and held Mutu's hand warmly.
