"The main thing is that the scar incision is very small," Anthony said.

Thumb valgus surgery, even if it is performed at Puhawkins Hospital or Mayo Medical Center, is mostly a large incision surgery. After the incision is opened, it is fixed with screws or the like. Although the recovery after the operation is not slow, it is definitely not as clean and neat as Jiang Feng's surgery just now. After the operation, the patient took off the operating table by himself.

Generally speaking, large incision surgery requires lumbar anesthesia, while Wen's minimally invasive surgery only requires local anesthesia at the foot. This is the obvious difference, and the incision is also the incision.

Nowadays, the majority of patients with thumb valgus surgery are women. George and Anthony and others have also encountered many female patients with thumb valgus in the United States. For female patients, no matter which country they are from, they love beauty.

Especially in summer, sandals are the main ones, and the scars left by the large incision on female patients make many female patients mind very much.

"Is this the research result of your hospital's integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine?" Anthony asked.

"No, this was created by an old Chinese doctor in Yanjing. His surname is Wen, so this surgery is also called Wen's minimally invasive surgery."

Xian Fen introduced with a smile: "Traditional Chinese medicine is our unique medical system in China, not unique to our Jiang Intermediate People's Court."

"That's amazing."

A glimpse of the whole story is that just a simple minimally invasive surgery in Wen's allowed foreign doctors such as George and Anthony to see the prospects of traditional Chinese medicine.

Judging from this surgery alone, although the technical content is not too high, this surgery alone is undoubtedly more advanced than their similar surgery.

"At present, our emergency department of Jiang Intermediate People's Hospital is making similar attempts, combining the characteristic bone correction and reduction techniques of traditional Chinese medicine with modern bone correction techniques to minimize incisions in the operation and reduce the residues of fixed materials such as steel nails, steel plates and other fixing materials in the patient's body."

Xian Fen introduced.

As for the bone correction methods of modern medicine, anyone who has seen orthopedic surgeons operate will be shocked. Many of the equipment used by orthopedic surgeons are really diverse, such as electric drills and hammers, are all pediatricians. The remaining steel plates and steel nails in the body of orthopedic patients are also the biggest trouble for the prognosis of orthopedic patients.

The doctor does not recommend taking the steel nails and steel plates in some patients with bone injuries after recovery. If not, the impact on the patient is not great, but once taken out, it may cause secondary damage.

If you don't take it, there are steel plates or steel nails left in the body and there is also the possibility of displacement. During long-term work or activities, the original steel nails or steel plates may deviate.

Even if you do not deviate, there are hidden dangers in your body that do not belong to your body. It may not matter when you are young, but it will have more or less impact as you get older.

Now the Jiang Intermediate People's Court bone injury division is making similar attempts. Using traditional Chinese medicine bone correction techniques to minimize wounds and reduce fixtures in the body, it is not allowed to use steel nails or steel plates.

Although it is still in the trial stage, in the past one or two months, the recovery of several patients in the orthopedic injury zone is quite good, and compared with similar patients, it has improved.

"Director Roland, Dr. Anthony... Please here."

A group of people came out of the surgical area, and Fang Haoyang and Xian Fen accompanied a group of people to visit the internal medicine, acupuncture and massage and orthopedics department for a visit.

When I was referring to the acupuncture and massage department, there happened to be a hiccup patient, Wang Junpeng was performing moxibustion treatment on the patient.

Anthony and others saw with their own eyes that the patient had frequent hiccups before moxibustion, but after Wang Junpeng moxibustion on the patient's Qimen point, he moxibustioned a column (that is, a moxa stick), the patient's symptoms improved significantly. After three columns, the patient's hiccups completely stopped.

"Oh my god, what's the principle?"

Anthony, a respiratory expert from Mayo Medical Center, arrived at the Jiang Intermediate People's Hospital, and was astonished from time to time.

"This is Dr. Wang Junpeng, who is a student of Dr. Fang Hanfang and is very good at acupuncture."

Xian Fen first introduced it to everyone, and then said to Wang Junpeng: "Doctor Wang, explain it to Dean Roland and Dr. Anthony."

"The patient is overworked, consciously exhausted, weak limbs, and then hiccups. Judging from the condition, the patient's hiccups are caused by fatigue and need to be treated with warm and tonic methods. However, the patient's hiccups are caused by excessive fatigue and gastric loss. If the patient's hiccups are treated with drugs, I am afraid that the patient's stomach will find it difficult to absorb the decoction, so the warm and heat effect of moxibustion is used for treatment, which is the same as the warm and tonic effect of decoctions."

Xian Fen smiled and took over the conversation: "There is a saying in our traditional Chinese medicine that if the medicine is not enough and the acupuncture is not enough, it must be moxibustioned. That is to say, if the decoction is not easy to absorb and acupuncture cannot produce any effect, then moxibustion can be used for treatment. Whether it is decoction, acupuncture or moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine, it is all about deficiency and excess. If it is deficiency, it is supplemented, and if it is sufficient, it is drained."

Solis interrupted, "I have understood this one a little bit. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes balance, which means that healthy people have balance in the deficiency and excess. If the balance is broken, it will affect health. Therefore, we must judge the deficiency and excess. If it is deficiency, we must replenish it. If it is deficiency, we must drain it. Director Xian, am I right?"

"almost."

Xian Fen smiled and said, "Although what Dr. Solis said is not comprehensive, it is almost the same. Deficiency and excess are indeed a key to Chinese medicine diagnosis."

"Director Xian, I'm very curious. Traditional Chinese medicine does not use any modern diagnosis and treatment methods. What does it rely on to judge the deficiency and excess?" Anthony asked.

"experience."

Xian Fen smiled and said, "So this is one of the reasons why traditional Chinese medicine is more difficult. Just like pure handicraftsmen, they all rely on long-term exercise to have superb skills."

"experience?"

Anthony was a little puzzled: "Forgive me, the experience must be practiced for a long time. Any mistakes in the process of practice will cause serious consequences. This method of traditional Chinese medicine is a bit backward. Modern medicine has this mature model. It is now tested on animals and then used on humans."

"But Dr. Anthony, you overlooked a very important situation."

Xian Fen said: "Our Chinese traditional medicine in China has a history of more than 3,000 or even longer. Over the years, our Chinese medical predecessors will pass on their medical experience, summarizing each generation and improving each generation. In other words, we have more than 3,000 clinical experience, which is not comparable to modern medicine."

"More than three thousand years?"

Anthony, Roland and others were both shocked. How could the experience summarized from such a long process be wrong?

Modern medicine emphasizes clinical practice, while traditional Chinese medicine has been practicing for more than 3,000 years and is constantly improving...
