Doctor of Healing

"Is my career gone?" Ji Xiang asked directly.

"It depends on luck and recovery after surgery." The coach replied with a sullen face.

Indeed, what the coach said was right, and Ji Xiang had nothing to do.

Holding his right arm, he followed the coach to do various checks.Examination revealed a partial tear at the insertion of the greater tuberosity of the supraspinatus tendon.

After the inspection, Ji Xiang's manager came over angrily, his complexion was even worse than that of the coach.

This is the first time Ji Xiang has come into contact with the role of an agent. He knows that he may be because of money. After all, once he is injured, he will definitely not be able to play in Australia's secondary league, and it will completely ruin the possibility of playing in the NBA.

Dr. Yuan from the Sports Rehabilitation Hospital suggested surgery. After a few days of discussion or quarrel, the agent brought Ji Xiang a well-known American expert, Professor Smith, to perform arthroscopic surgery.

In order to keep Jixiang's sports career, the agent also tried his best.

This time Ji Xiang experienced a long time in empathy, mainly due to the torn between the agent team and the coach and the waiting for the American expert Professor Smith.

Professor Smith seems to be very busy. The team took Ji Xiangfei to New York and waited for half a month before queuing up for surgery.

Jixiang was clear about the operation process, but Professor Smith refused his request to record the operation video.Jixiang had no choice but to perform the operation with his eyes closed.

Jixiang's only regret after waking up from general anesthesia was that he didn't see the operation process performed by top experts in sports rehabilitation.

The recovery is also guided by a professional team. Everything is very good, but the cost is too high. After ten days or so, Ji Xiang and others returned to China for the next step of rehabilitation training.

One month after the operation, Ji Xiang felt that the active and passive activities of his right shoulder joint were limited. The range of motion for forward flexion was 1°, the range of motion for abduction was 120°, and the range of motion for back extension and internal rotation was the hip.

The re-examination of the X-ray film showed no obvious bone abnormality; the nuclear magnetic resonance showed that the supraspinatus tendon could heal, and a small amount of fluid accumulated under the acromion.

The next thing Ji Xiang has to face is "cruel" recovery.

Chapter 351

Jixiang has been wearing the brace after the operation, and Jixiang can only do the simplest finger movements.

Jixiang even felt that he was tied up like a mummy or a bandaged weirdo, which was really ridiculous.

This is not enough. Every time Ji Xiang moves his fingers, the coach and manager will scold Ji Xiang with a gloomy face.

The money has already been poured in, and Ji Xiang knows very well that if his body fails to recover to normal levels, no matter whether it is his agent, himself, or the coach, he will face a chicken-and-egg situation.

After removing the external bracket that restricted the movement, Ji Xiang began to do abduction, adduction, and extension exercises step by step.

Activities that usually seem simple, such as shrugging the shoulders, now feel like my whole body is torn apart when doing Ji Xiang.

The pain was even worse than before the operation. Jixiang sometimes felt very strange, even if it could be explained theoretically - postoperative local tissue edema, adhesion, etc., he even felt that it would be better not to have the operation.

Especially for an athlete, the postoperative joint range of motion cannot reach 100% level, and the operation is indeed a waste of time.

The rotator cuff injury is completely different from urinary stones.

Although the urinary calculus was extremely painful when he was ill, Ji Xiang felt a sense of dying, but once the stone crushing was successful, the effect was immediate, and he returned directly from hell to the world.

However, arthroscopic surgery for rotator cuff injuries is different.

It was uncomfortable before the operation, and it was even difficult to find out what the doctor had done after the operation. Not to mention that it did not return to the state before the operation, but the feeling of pain increased faintly.

This is the operation performed by the world's top sports rehabilitation experts!

Ji Xiang knows that the empathy is not over, most likely because he still has subacromial osteolysis and has not felt it.

The initial rehabilitation training went smoothly. Ji Xiang endured the severe tearing sensation to "loosen" the adherent tissues.

During this period of time, Ji Xiang explained to many patients about postoperative rehabilitation. If he cannot bear the pain and do rehabilitation training, the functional recovery of the operation area will be seriously affected.

When these words that Jixiang was tired of saying fell on him, "they" changed their taste.

Ji Xiang understands what those "lazy" patients are thinking.

Fortunately, Jixiang has long been used to the knife falling on himself while empathizing with him, so he gritted his teeth and started rehabilitation training.

The pain is as painful as a knife, Ji Xiang has experienced it, and every time he feels the same, it is very difficult, but there is hope for it.

Even if the cancer is in an advanced stage, Ji Xiang can predict the time of his "death" and get relief.

But this time!

Ji Xiang was really desperate.

Daily exercises such as abduction, adduction, and back extension do have effects, but the effect is extremely slow.

The pain is not the most difficult. The main reason why Jixiang can't see the sun is that he doesn't know when the day will end.

day to day.

Three months later, Jixiang gritted his teeth and gradually returned to his original state.

The reason why Jixiang survived was that he talked too much about some things. He also felt contemptuous when he saw patients who came for follow-up visits because their rehabilitation exercises were not in place and caused permanent damage to their motor functions.

It turned out that the rehabilitation training hurt so badly that Ji Xiang couldn't slap himself in the face.

So he stuck with it.

A smile gradually appeared on the agent's face, until Jixiang decided that he could play basketball, he smiled like Hua.

Jixiang also experienced the fun of playing basketball once.

When he was in school, Jixiang also played basketball because of his height, wingspan, and strong athletic ability.

Who doesn't like to sweat profusely on the basketball court, and seven or eight pure water bottles appear in front of the eyes with the smiling faces of the school girls when they are off the court.

But, not surprisingly, bad luck came to Jixiang again.

More than ten days later, Ji Xiang found pain in his right shoulder joint during activities, especially when he abducted.

He quickly contacted his coach and agent and went to the hospital for an MRI.

It is the same as the image data seen in reality - suggesting that the effusion in the subacromial and glenohumeral joints increases.

Everyone's eyes turned dark except Ji Xiang.

From that day on, Jixiang could clearly feel that the brokerage company's attitude towards him became indifferent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ji Xiang has also felt the coldness and warmth of human feelings, but this time it is particularly obvious.

Another few months.

This time Jixiang went to an ordinary tertiary hospital accompanied by his coach.

Various reviews in between proved that Ji Xiang's career was over, and it was impossible to return to the game.The agent's team gave up Ji Xiang, only the coach persisted.

The coach's face was not so dark anymore, after accepting the fact, he accompanied Jixiang very calmly.

After the examination, Ji Xiang saw that the MRI and CT plain scan four-dimensional reconstruction showed that the acromion was thinning and the subacromial bone was dissolved, and the size was about 19mm×13mm, and he felt helpless.

The doctor said a lot, and he and the coach left the hospital after listening.

"Ji Xiang, come on, let's smoke a cigarette." The coach pulled Ji Xiang to sit at the gate of the hospital, watching the people coming and going, he smiled, "How old were you when you came to the provincial team?"

"16 is old."

"I still remember that you were secretly smoking with other people, and I caught you. I ignored them and locked you in the house and beat you for an hour."

"Hey." Ji Xiang smiled, "Coach, I know you are doing it for my own good. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I understand it. It's a pity..."

"It's nothing to be sorry about, that's what happens in a person's life. If you can really go to the NBA, I'll have one more thing to brag about, and you can make more money. Money is such a good thing. It doesn't matter if you earn your life or your life. , you have to look away."

Ji Xiang did not refuse, took the cigarette handed by the coach, and took a deep breath.

"I gave the leader a bottle of ancestral Moutai these days."

"Hahaha, ancestors?"

The coach glared, "My dad saved it back then, so I didn't want to drink it. After the old man left, I didn't drink it to keep in mind. The leader said, although you can't go to the NBA, you can stay as an assistant coach. Excessively."

This is sincerely for his own good. Ji Xiang is very grateful to the coaches, although they are only in empathy, they may be just a memory or a line of code.

"Coach, thank you."

"How many years have we been together, and you have been beaten by me a lot. If you can't take care of the children this time, let's see how I beat you."

Ji Xiang shrugged habitually.

Because it has been more than half a year, he has also formed a habit. Only the left shoulder moves when the hand shrugs, while the right shoulder is steady, like a stone.

There are already signs of muscular atrophy in the right upper limb, which Jixiang can clearly feel.

"Hey, I'll just bring out such an awesome guy like you, why can't it work. Forget it, it's fate, and I will be a teaching assistant for me in the future."

Before he could speak, the lights and shadows flickered, and Ji Xiang returned to the system operating room without finishing a cigarette.

"Teacher, I want to learn surgery." After Ji Xiang came back, he couldn't wait to say without missing the coach.

Chapter 352

"The operation is a bit difficult." The system NPC said, "A long time ago, I was invited to attend a consultation."

Jixiang knows the temper of the NPC in the system. It may be that people are willing to talk about the past when they are old. Memories are one thing for young people, but they may be their most precious treasure for old people.

"A national-level athlete ruptured his Achilles tendon and was still unable to reach his former peak level. In competitive competitions, the winner is king, so the athlete began to drink heavily, and he also showed symptoms of depression."

"After all, I haven't been in contact with orthopedics for many years, especially sports medicine surgery. The main part is done by Zhou Congwen."

"What subject, teacher?" Ji Xiang asked.

"H-Z surgery." The system NPC said lightly.

Ji Xiang was taken aback.

Ji Xiang has never heard of a similar name for the H-Z operation.

and!

Naming a surgical procedure with a surname means that the surgical procedure has been recognized by the academic community and widely promoted.

Thinking of this, and thinking of the last cigarette handed over by the coach in empathy, Ji Xiang's heart was pounding.

"The surgery is a bit difficult, but it still can't be popularized in the end. I tried to reduce the difficulty of the surgery, but unfortunately..." The system NPC shook his head.

"Teacher, what happened next?"

Ji Xiang asked.

"Later." The system NPC said, "Successful surgery, rehabilitation training, return to the field, correct bad habits, and then the athlete saw hope, and finally returned to the peak and made further progress."

"!!!"

"The movement system pays attention to silky smoothness. For example, arthroscopic treatment of rotator cuff injuries. Why do knots collide?" asked the system NPC.

"Not smooth enough..."

Ji Xiang reluctantly followed the words of the system NPC and continued.

Ji Xiang felt a little unreliable to describe the effect of the surgery as silky smooth, but it was indeed so when he thought about it carefully.

After the operation on the rotator cuff, there is always a thread knot, which is equivalent to a small stone in the shoe grinding the foot.

Because of the repeated friction caused by exercise, blisters will develop on the soles of the feet, and subacromial osteolysis will also occur in the rotator cuff.

The corresponding principle seems to be applicable to knee joints, ankle joints and other positions.

"It's about like this, let's go, first take you to do incision repair of rotator cuff injury + acromioplasty. You experience the silky feeling, and then I will teach you the H-Z operation."

……

……

Early the next morning.

Ji Xiang ran a half-marathon with the silly roe deer.

Silly roe deer is in good health, Jixiang basically carried it back in the second half of the half marathon on the first day.But after nearly two months of adaptation, the silly roe deer has become a shepherd dog with great endurance.

After dinner at home, Ji Xiang rode to the hospital.

Along the way, he recalled the operation that the system NPC taught him last night. When Ji Xiang saw the gate of the hospital, he felt that what he saw was different from before.

Ji Xiang himself can't say what's different, it may be that after mastering a top-level operation, his whole body has undergone changes that he is not used to.

When he came to the inpatient department and changed his clothes, Ji Xiang saw that Deng Chaohong had come earlier than himself.

"Teacher Deng, why did you come so early today?" Ji Xiang asked.

"It's not the patient from yesterday." Deng Chaohong smiled, "The family contacted the imperial capital, and finally decided to invite experts to perform the operation."
