"Really?" Shopkeeper Yu asked urgently.

"Yes," Zuo Shaoyang said, "the cane blow of this leg is slightly upward, so there is no fracture of the patella and tibial condyle at the knee, but the lower end of the leg bone and the leg condyle are broken into several pieces, which is a crushing fracture." This type of fracture is troublesome, and even after reduction, it is easy to re-displace if it is not fixed in an appropriate way, and there is no way to achieve ideal fixation with a splint. None of the existing fixation methods can complete the fixation requirements of this fracture, so there is no possibility of rehabilitation for such a fracture, and disability is difficult to avoid. ”

Shopkeeper Yu sneered: "After talking for a long time, it still means that I didn't say it!" ”

"Uncle Yu, don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Zuo Shaoyang smiled, "However, I learned some bone grafting methods from an old bell doctor, which are very effective, and you can try it for the old man." ”

Shopkeeper Yu said lightly: "Really? ”

"Yes, the old uncle's fractures are somewhat similar to Qiao'er's girls, both are thigh bone fractures, the difference is that her fracture is in the middle section, only one fracture, but there is an open surname trauma, while the old uncle's is at the lower end and the femoral condyle, there are multiple fractures, it is a crushing surname, it is a closed surname fracture. Both treatments have their own difficulties, but one thing is the same, that is, your injuries have soft tissue damage, severe swelling, can not be fixed with a splint, but can be fixed with an external fixator, I can explain to the old man this bone grafting method taught by the old bell doctor, the old man can listen to whether it is feasible. ”

"Okay." Shopkeeper Yu didn't believe it at all, but it didn't hurt to listen to it.

"Can you bring pen and paper? I'll explain it after I've drawn it. ”

The son of the shopkeeper Yu hurriedly went to get the paper and pen, Zuo Shaoyang drew a schematic diagram on the round table, pointed to the drawing and said: "I will give the old man a decoction, which can make the old man fall asleep without feeling pain, so that the osteopathic ...... can be carried out smoothly."

Mrs. Yu asked in surprise: "I heard that you give people bones, and the patients don't feel pain, so it turns out that you are taking this kind of decoction?" And say what elixir do you have! ”

"Hehe," Zuo Shaoyang smiled, and then explained, "I will drill holes in your femoral condyle and backbone, penetrate the required bone needle, insert it into the bone, and then use manual traction to reduce it. Of course, medication is also needed to prevent suppuration of the penetrating wound. After a while, after the broken bones are connected, the fixator can be removed. With this bone grafting method, you can quickly perform rehabilitation exercises, and if it goes well, your right leg should be able to regain its original function. In the future, I will be able to walk on crutches and will not have to be in a wheelchair all day. ”

Shopkeeper Yu's family had never heard of this kind of bone grafting method, and Master Qiao had never heard of it, they were all a little dumbfounded, and it sounded a little unbelievable. I can't help but look at each other.

Zuo Shaoyang knew that they didn't believe in their own technology, although they had some successful bone grafting cases before, but they all used traditional bone grafting methods such as splints. This method of external fixator for fracture fixation and bone grafting is also the latest osteopathic scientific and technological achievement that has only appeared in the past 100 years, and the ancients naturally did not know.

Zuo Shaoyang has now learned to protect himself and never force it, otherwise once he fails, he will cause endless distress. So he said clearly: "To be honest, this bone grafting method is also the first time I have used it, although I know that it will definitely work, but I can't guarantee that it will not go wrong, I can only do my best, before I have surgery, if you agree to perform this bone grafting operation by me, I will tell you the relevant risks, let you know the possible consequences, if you agree to these consequences, do not hold me responsible, I can treat you." ”

"What consequences?" Shopkeeper Yu asked.

Zuo Shaoyang told them all about the risks of surgery, including the risks of anesthesia.

After listening to this, Shopkeeper Yu and Master Qiao were even more dumbfounded, they didn't trust them very much, but now that they said this, they had no idea.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Don't worry, you can think slowly, I'll go back first." ”

After that, leaving Master Qiao and they discussed together, Zuo Shaoyang was supported by Miao Peilan, and the two left the shopkeeper Yu's house.

Zuo Shaoyang estimated that they would agree, so he was not in a hurry to return to the pharmacy, and first came to the yamen to find his brother-in-law Hou Pu, and said that he was going to work overtime at night for surgery, and asked him to talk to the night patrol catcher quickly, and after the blacksmith shop worked overtime to make the equipment, he would help deliver it.

Hou Pu immediately agreed, and took him to Fan Zhutou to say, Fan Zhutou agreed, and assigned a catcher to wait in the blacksmith shop after the curfew, and when they were ready, they helped send it to Guizhitang.

After speaking, Zuo Shaoyang came to the blacksmith shop again and told the blacksmith to make an additional pair of external fixators. After it is done, it will be handed over to the waiting yamen to catch and send it quickly. The wages were added, and the blacksmith naturally agreed.

Back at the pharmacy, there were several patients in the pharmacy, my father was diagnosing the patient, all of them were suffering from external diseases, Zuo Shaoyang felt a little tired, and lay down to rest for a while.

Before closing the city gate after dark, the three brothers of carpenter Li Dazhuang came back sweating, and one of them carried a basket with more or less the three notoginseng that had been dug up.

After weighing, there were a total of four catties, and the Liang family gave them four steamed buns, so that with Li Dazhuang's daily salary of eight steamed buns, their family of five would have twelve steamed buns to eat in a day. You can almost eat half full just eating steamed buns, and if you add wild vegetables, it's even more fine.

The four brothers Li Dazhuang were grateful, and said that they would go up the mountain early the next morning to pick, and after they had experience, they should be able to dig more to change steamed buns. The amount of notoginseng required to make a new bandage is relatively large, and of course the more you can dig up, the better.

After the shift, the patients went back one after another after seeing the doctor. At this time, the people from the blacksmith shop came and sent a pair of fixtures that had been ordered before, and after Zuo Shaoyang checked it, it completely met his design requirements, and he was very satisfied, and told them to work overtime to finish the second one as soon as possible.

The blacksmith agreed, saying that with the experience of making the first pair, the second pair would be faster.

Now the grain has been distributed to each family, so the Zuo family, the Miao family and the Qiao family all eat separately.

Bai Zhihan has already prepared the meal, and now the rice is the white rice given by the general, the pork given by the general, and the Chinese cabbage that he bought last time.

The meals are all cooked by Bai Zhihan, because there are no condiments at home except salt, and Bai Zhihan's left hand is injured.

The family sat down to eat, Ni Zhi had run out of food at home, and the wild vegetables and chaff he ate were pampered and habitually raised, where to eat so bitterly, so he almost didn't eat anything, and his eyes were green with hunger, and it was precisely because of this that Ni's mother felt that this grandson was only afraid that she would not be able to survive this famine, so she begged to come to the door with a cheeky face, and sent the child to Guizhitang as an apprentice to eat.

I haven't eaten rice and meat for a few days, and Ni Zhi, the son of Dr. Ni who stayed in the Zuo family as an apprentice, eats very sweetly, and the food cooked by Bai Zhihan tastes very fragrant, which makes Ni Zhi's mouth smash like a little piglet, which makes people look very fragrant.

Zuo Shaoyang hadn't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time, he ate a large bowl of white rice, licked his mouth, and said with a straight face: "It seems that you can't let Zhi'er cook in the future!" ”

Liang asked, "Why?" ”

Bai Zhihan also looked at him in surprise.

"It's so delicious, the food is not enough to eat!"

Only then did everyone know that he was joking, and they all laughed. Zuo Gui also smiled and nodded, "Well, this meal is very good." Zhi'er's cooking skills are really first-class, even the chefs of Jinyu Restaurant can't make this taste! ”

Ni Zhi's small mouth blinked twice, and he still couldn't finish his words: "My sister's food is so much better than ours that I almost swallowed my tongue." Hee-hee"

The whole family laughed again.

Bai Zhihanqiao's face was slightly red, and she said, "In the future, with condiment ingredients, I should be able to make a little better." ”

As he was talking, someone knocked on the door, Bai Zhihan ran over to open the door, but it was Mr. and Mrs. Qiao and the family of the shopkeeper Yu, of course, the shopkeeper Yu was carried by the family on a soft couch. Next to the soft couch pillow, there is a large package.

Zuo Gui and Zuo Shaoyang both greeted him. Zuo Gui asked Liang's to make tea, and the shopkeeper Yu waved his hand and said no, lying on the soft couch, and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Zuo Gongzi, I have discussed with Master Qiao, and I also asked someone to ask those who came to your pharmacy to find your bones, and they all said that it was very good, and he also asked Dr. Ni, he kept praising your medical skills for being very clever, and many places have surpassed his medical skills." ”

Zuo Shaoyang laughed when he heard this, Dr. Ni actually didn't know much about his own osteopathy, but his son was mixing rice in his own pharmacy to survive the famine, did he dare to say no? As long as he says yes, he can reassure many people that they can heal, which is a good thing.

Shopkeeper Yu continued: "After thinking about it, instead of lying in bed for the rest of your life, it is better to gamble, if you bet right, you can stand up, and it is good to walk with a limp, as for all possible dangers, you can't take care of it, this is called a blessing or a curse, and a disaster can't be avoided." So it's decided, just bother Zuo Gongzi to treat! ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly asked, "That gloomy wooden ......?" ”

"Brought here, Zuo Gongzi chooses it himself, anyway, it's just a tea table, sawing off a leg, and it can be replaced with a human leg, it's too cost-effective. Besides, this tea table is originally strange to look good, and if you have a broken leg, you can change the shape. ”

"That's great! I'll take a look first. ”

The son of the shopkeeper Yu carried the big package next to the pillow of the shopkeeper Yu, put it on the long table and opened it, only to see a small tea table black and shiny, the shape is quaint, close to smell, there is a faint fragrance. Stretching out his finger and flicking it lightly, there was the sound of Jin Ge. I used my fingernails to squeeze it, but I didn't leave even a trace.

Zuo Shaoyang praised: "It's really good!" ”
