In fact, Thomas Carter and Aaron Nelson had an impression in their previous lives. The level of the Suns' team doctor is well-known, and as a peer, Hu Qingniu has also learned about their specific situation.

Thomas Carter is a specialist in sports medicine and surgery. He went to Phoenix in 2000 and worked for the clinic in Arizona, especially with knee meniscus and cartilage injuries — which are known to be the biggest headaches for NBA players.

The reason why he is called the miracle doctor of the Suns is because of several treatment cases when Thomas was with the Suns.

When Vince Carter was traded to the Suns in December 2010, he was still considering knee arthroscopic surgery. Thomas looked at it and concluded, "No surgery is needed." A similar story was experienced when Grant Hill arrived. Hill, who was already numb from the magic surgery, put on a posture of "it doesn't matter if I have another surgery, I've already had millions of knives in my knee anyway", and Thomas just said calmly: "No surgery." ”

He gave Vince Carter and Grant Hill a rigorous recovery plan and told them to follow it. Then, a miracle happened. Hill, who played only 200 games in seven years with the Magic and experienced five failed comebacks, came to Phoenix at the age of 35. He has missed a total of 15 games in four years here – especially in the last three seasons, where he has missed just three. Running, jumpers, dunks, he seems to be the healthiest player in the league.

"Surgeries that can be avoided must be avoided." This is Thomas's philosophy. But this is not to say that Thomas will not have surgery, it is precisely the success of one operation that has made him famous.

In 2005, just after signing a big contract, Stoudemire discovered that he had a knee problem and had surgery. Thomas was the surgeon and gave him knee cartilage surgery. Could this almost declare Stoudemire's death sentence for knee cartilage surgery on a 23-year-old Thunderbolt dunk general?

Historically, Chris Webb, Penny Hardaway, and Alan Houston have all been examples of athletes who lost most of their athleticism after knee surgery.

Thomas patiently persuaded the team that Stoudemire was not allowed to play for the entire 2005-06 season. The result: Stoudemire made a healthy comeback in the 2006-07 season and made the No. 1 team of the year. And since then, my knee has no trouble, and I can still run and jump. Until the transfer to the Knicks, Xiao Si never had a leg problem.

Xiaobawang is still Xiaobawang, and he has not lost any athleticism. He, like Hill, was instantly stoned into gold by Thomas's hands, knees, legs, and feet. It is easy not to have surgery, and once you have surgery, you must recuperate enough, and never come back halfway.

Thomas's ethos is a bit abrupt in the NBA, a time when stars are forced to make early comebacks and gamble on their meniscus. His style is the benevolence of a doctor, and everything is for the sake of the patient. He will argue and negotiate with the team for the benefit of the players, and the team is convinced because of his efficacy. Of course, he is not alone in this credit.

Lead trainer Aaron Nelson is another of Thomas' partners. He's been trying to get some money out of the Sun Iron Rooster boss over the years to perfect medical equipment, pool restoration, and X-ray equipment.

One of his most beautiful achievements was the treatment of sharks. In February 2008, the sharks were traded to the Suns. Previously, he had been injured for ten years. By the time they reached the sun, they were almost a waste fish.

In the same season that he was traded to the Suns, bursitis afflicted the shark's left hip again. Coupled with his pre-existing toes, knees, ankles, etc., the 36-year-old body no longer has the resilience of the beast it used to be. Previously, both the Lakers and the Heat emphasized that "the sharks are too fat!" Sharks have too much fat! The shark's weight put too much pressure on his legs and feet! ”

But Aaron Nelson doesn't think so. His test result: "The shark has a problem with his gluteal muscles. He then examined other parts of the shark, a bone spur in the big toe of his right foot that was removed in 2002, and a left knee injury.

In the end, he concluded: "The problem with the shark is that the muscles are too tense in the places where he has been injured. He doesn't move freely. We're going to have to deal with him...... The shark is not that fat, he is 145 kilograms, but he has only 11% body fat. ”

After his training program, a miracle happened. In the 08-09 season, the 37-year-old Sharks played 75 games, the most in the 21st century, and was named an All-Star for the last time.

After that, the interview selection was not difficult, and Thomas Carter and Aaron Nelson were successfully integrated into Hu Qingniu's team.

Although many people in the medical community are wondering why Hu Qingniu chose these two young candidates who don't seem to have a very good foundation as assistants.

Hu Qingniu didn't explain, in his opinion, don't forget the original intention, you have to always. Since he is a doctor, then benevolence should be put before medical skills, and the real case of Thomas and Nelson, Hu Qingniu, remembered in his heart, and he believed that these two were the best of the applicants.

In this way, the number of Hu Qingniu's studio has reached four, and the manpower is already very sufficient.

Hu Qingniu immediately arranged for Ginobili's palm surgery, with Freeman, Thomas, and Nelson all assistants.

The hospital arranged the best operating room in the hospital for Hu Qingniu, which is a 100-level dust-free operating room. The 100-level operating room here does not mean that it was built for 100 yuan, but refers to the number of dust particles in the air in a certain space.

In fact, orthopedic surgery only needs a thousand-level operating room, and does not require a high standard of dust-free. However, Hu Qingniu is ready to perform a minimally invasive surgery across time and space, and the concept of minimally invasive surgery is hot in the current medical community. However, there are few practical cases in terms of implementation. When it comes to extremely difficult orthopedic surgeries, no one dares to try them, because many specific techniques have not yet been developed.

The advantages of minimally invasive surgery are less trauma, less pain, and faster recovery, which is also the dream of every patient who needs surgery. Compared with the disadvantages of traditional surgery, which has a large incision and long recovery time, minimally invasive surgery obviously has many advantages.

A palm injury like Ginobili's is itself a delicate and minimally invasive option.

While Hu Qingniu was making preparations, he borrowed a surgical microscope from the hospital, and he planned to use this microscope to complete the operation.

Hu Qingniu and the three assistants exchanged the main points of the meeting in advance, and several of them were stupid.

Minimally invasive palm surgery, do you use this microscope, the concept of minimally invasive surgery is quite popular, but it does not mean that it is feasible.

But Hu Qingniu closed their mouths with practical actions, and it only took half an hour for Hu Qingniu to complete the surgical process. During this period, Ginobili felt very relaxed, just like going to the hospital to have a tooth extracted, not like surgery at all.

To be honest, Manu, who is often injured, is in a nervous mood every time he is pushed into the operating room, although this time it is the world-famous Hu Qingniu who is the main surgeon, but Manu is still a little worried. As a result, I didn't expect the surgery to be completed so easily.

The first case of minimally invasive surgery for the metacarpal joint was released, which shocked the medical community, and the reputation of Hu Qingniu Medical Studio was an instant hit. When the medical community was still hyping the concept of minimally invasive, Hu Qingniu took out this technology several years in advance, which was simply a time and space operation.
