Chapter 147: Broken bones increase

After Dr. Xue Lian negotiated with Professor Weng, the next morning, she completed the operation fee, hospitalization fee, contact bed, and various preoperative examinations.

The time of surgery was set for the afternoon of the same day.

When the doctor gave Niu Tiangou general anesthesia, he quickly lost consciousness and seemed to be asleep......

More than 3 hours later, Niu Tiangou woke up, he was woken up by pain, it was a piercing pain.

He opened his eyes in pain and saw that he was lying flat on the hospital bed, with a pair of metal "cages" on each of his two lower legs, and several steel needles at the upper and lower ends of each "cage" were drilled into the upper and lower ends of the wounds on the two legs, and fixed to the brackets of the "cage" around the legs, with a screw knob in the middle of each of the four pillars of the "cage".

Seeing those few steel needles drilling into his legs, Niu Tiangou's heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Does it hurt?" Doctor Xue Lian had already come to the ward, and when she saw that Niu Tiangou had woken up, she was a little grinning, and she hurriedly came over and asked with concern.

"Hmm." Niu Tiangou nodded, and then wanted to sit up, but Dr. Xue Lian and a nurse next to him hurriedly came over to help him up.

After reluctantly sitting up and leaning against the head of the bed, Niu Tiangou reached his right hand through the gap in a metal "cage" and gently stroked the wound.

After a while, he felt his legs burn and the pain fade away.

"How?" Dr. Xue Lian asked worriedly. She knew that he was using "qigong" to reduce the pain, and if it didn't work, she was going to give him painkillers.

"Well, it's okay." As he spoke, he put his right hand into another metal "cage", only to feel the heat and dryness of his right index finger......

Doctor Xue Lian saw that Niu Tiangou's face no longer had a painful expression, and knew that his "qigong therapy" was working, so she turned her face to the nurse next to her and said, "You take the medicine away, you don't need it for the time being." ”

Then, she sat down on the edge of the bed, and while watching Niu Tiangou stroke the wound with her right hand, she told him: "Your operation went well, and now the key is to look at the extension period." Special attention should be paid to the extended period, as this is the period when complications are most likely to occur. ”

"Extended period?" Niu Tiangou felt the pain in his leg disappear completely, stopped his hand, turned his head and asked puzzledly.

"The extension period is the leg stretch for a long time." Dr. Xue Lian pointed to the "cage" bracket and patiently explained, "The specific method is that during this time, you must slowly turn the screw knob on the bracket every day, and use the upward and downward tension of the stent to open the gap between the broken bones, so that the leg bones have room to regenerate." Generally, the broken bone is lengthened by 0.5~1 mm per day, with an average of 0.7 mm, and is completed in 2 to 3 times. ”

"Can you stretch it a little longer?" Now that this surgery has been done, Niu Tiangou certainly hopes to stretch his leg longer.

"Normally, no." Dr. Xue Lian felt that he seemed to be a little anxious, and said, "This should not only take care of the growth of the leg bones, but also take into account the growth of the skin, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and other tissues of the legs. ”

Seeing Niu Tiangou's expectant eyes, she added: "If the two 'match' grow well and there are no adverse reactions, you can also stretch it a little more appropriately until you feel pain or discomfort." However, I don't recommend this for the average person, and given your unique situation, you can try it, but only in moderation. ”

As she was talking, Bai Lisha came in with a bag of fruits and nutritional supplements, followed by Wu Sangui and Director Liu.

Seeing Niu Tiangou's legs "covered" with two metal cages, Bai Lisha was taken aback, and then an anxious look appeared on her face, and Wu Sangui and Director Liu's faces were also a little surprised.

"How so?" Wu Sangui asked as he stared at the metal cage frame strangely. In his opinion, if the leg is broken, it is enough to wrap it in gauze and wrap it in a splint or plaster, how can it put on two iron guys? Could it be his legs......

"His left leg bone was shattered, 2 centimeters shorter than his right leg, and he had to be fitted with this fixator for traction elongation." Seeing everyone's shocked faces, Dr. Xue Lian explained briefly beside him, "At the same time, his right leg is also being broken and increased. ”

"Broken bones...... Heighten? Will this work? Will the leg be able to recover later? Wu Sangui didn't know what broken bones were getting taller, he just hoped that Niu Tiangou's leg would get better as soon as possible.

"If all goes well, it should be possible." Dr. Xue Lian replied in the affirmative.

Although Wu Sangui and Director Liu were skeptical, since the doctor said so, they were still relieved and sat down on the edge of the bed: "How do you feel?" ”

"It's fine." Niu Tiangou smiled reluctantly, "Thank you for coming to see me." ”

"Brothers, if you say something like this, you will see the outside." Director Liu also smiled, "If it weren't for the shortage of people now, everyone would want to come and see you." ”

Indeed, now the security guards in the hotel have regarded Niu Tiangou as a god, and if Director Liu hadn't stopped him, they would all want to come and see Niu Tiangou.

"How is it in the hotel?"

"It's okay, everything is normal for the time being. The brothers are looking forward to your leg getting better and going back as soon as possible, with you, we will have enough confidence. Wu Sangui looked at Liu Tiangou with envy and admiration.

"Ahem, don't say that." Niu Tiangou smiled embarrassedly, "The key to the affairs in the hotel still depends on everyone." ”

At this time, Bai Lisa had already peeled an apple and handed it to Niu Tiangou.

"You've just had surgery now, and you can't eat raw or cold food yet." Doctor Xue Lian hurriedly stopped it, then took the apple handed over by Niu Tiangou and put it on the table next to him, "There are also sour, spicy, and greasy things that are temporarily taboo." ”

"Then what's the best thing for him to eat and drink in the future?" Seeing Doctor Xue Lian's instructions, Bai Lisha hurriedly asked.

Doctor Xue Lian thought for a while and said, "You can drink some Tianqi lean meat soup, which is conducive to blood circulation and stasis." After a week, you can use Tian Qi and frog to make soup and drink to promote the growth of periosteum. For about a month, you can make bone broth and drink, add some lotus roots, radish, mushrooms, and greens, which is conducive to the healing of leg bones. ”

Bai Lisa nodded, took the note and wrote it down attentively.

……

In the next few days, Niu Tiangou's daily meals were delivered regularly by the nurses, and the toilet was carried by a special nurse.

Every night before going to work, Bai Lisha would come to visit him, and bring some Tianqi lean meat soup in a thermos cup every now and then, and Dr. Xue Lian would also bring him some soup and vegetables that he had made himself from time to time.

Every time he saw Lisa Bai and Dr. Xue Lian, he felt embarrassed and didn't know how to thank them.

Alas, these two women.
