Changsha Evening News, Changsha, February 11 (Quan** reporter Peng Fang, correspondent Zhou Xilin) "Doctor Duan, Happy New Year!" Your 'Xiangyi Zhenggu' really lives up to its reputation, avoiding the pain of the child's operation, and allowing our family to have a good year with peace of mind! Today, Duan Chao, deputy director of the first ward of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Tianxin Campus of Changsha Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital (Changsha Eighth Hospital), received a thank you text message from the parents of a 13-year-old child with a child in Loudi City, Duoduo (pseudonym). This matter has to start from the day before the Spring Festival.
On the afternoon of February 8, 13-year-old Duoduo accidentally fell while playing basketball, resulting in a fracture of the distal epiphysis of the right tibia and fibula, which was severely deformed, and the local hospital recommended surgery**. However, parents consider that their children are still in the growth period and do not want to affect their studies, so they are also afraid of surgery, and they are as anxious as ants on a hot pot. After many inquiries, it was learned that Changsha Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine "Xiangyi Zhenggu" has rich experience in children's fractures, and the parents contacted Zhou Xijiang, director of the first ward of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the Tianxin Campus of the hospital. The situation was urgent, and Zhou Xijiang immediately launched a multidisciplinary cooperation plan for pediatric orthopedics.
After receiving the notice, Duan Chao, who was on duty that day, immediately contacted the orthopedic center to make preparations for reduction in advance, and remotely guided the patient's family to carry out simple preliminary fixation treatment.
After a three-hour trek of more than 200 kilometers, Duoduo's family finally arrived at Changsha Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. At that time, due to the long-term misalignment of the bones, Duoduo's toes were numb, and he was sweating profusely in pain. Duan Chao went through the hospitalization procedures in the shortest time through the green channel, and carefully read the film and found that Duoduo had comminuted fractures, epiphyseal separation, and obvious dislocation of the distal epiphysis of the right tibia and fibula.
Duan Chao worked closely with the orthopedic team, and used "Xiangyi Zhenggu"** to reduce the small splint and fix, after the reduction was completed, the ankle deformity of Duoduo was completely corrected, the pain and numbness disappeared immediately, and the re-examination X-ray showed that the fracture was perfectly anatomically reduced.
Hearing the news of the successful replacement, the hanging heart of the child and his family finally fell to the ground and showed a happy smile. Duoduo's father said excitedly: "It took less than 5 minutes from entering the hospital to the successful reset, and it was worth it for me to drive more than 200 kilometers!" ”
The annual winter and summer holidays are the high incidence of fractures in children, and epiphyseal fractures are unique injuries to children. Duan Chao introduced that children are not a miniature version of **, and there is a special structure of "epiphysis" at the end of children's bones, which is the part of bone growth and development. If the epiphysis is fractured or separated due to trauma, it will lead to damage to the growth plate, and even cause premature closure of the epiphysis, which will seriously affect the growth of the bones, and the asymmetrical development of the limbs, which will lead to the length of the limbs.
1. Serious consequences such as varus and valgus deformity. If epiphyseal fracture occurs accidentally, correct initial fixation should be carried out early to prevent the injury from aggravating, and then sent to the hospital for correct reduction and fixation in time**, and later ** exercise is also crucial.
It is reported that the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Changsha Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as a national key specialty, has rich experience in pediatric fractures. The hospital's "Xiangyi Zhenggu"** has a history of 100 years and has been selected as a municipal intangible cultural heritage. The Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology adheres to the idea of "Xiangyi Orthopedics", continues to promote the comprehensive approach of combining inheritance and modern technology, establishes a first-class reduction multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment team, improves the accuracy of reduction, and continuously improves the experience of traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics, so as to reduce pain and cost for patients.
