Chapter 541 Two peaches kill three soldiers
There is no doubt that surgical robots will lead the development of future surgery.

Some difficult and high-risk operations will become simple and safe with the help of surgical robots.

For example, screw placement in upper cervical spine surgery is a very risky operation that requires experienced spine surgeons to perform. However, no matter how experienced, there will still be deviations in screw placement, damage to the vertebral artery or spinal cord, and cause serious injuries. as a result of.

Because the human eye cannot see through, it is very unreliable to rely on the flat C-arm X-ray assistance, relying on experience and hand feeling to place nails.

With the assistance of computer navigation or robots, this work has become extremely easy. It can be said that surgery is like playing computer games.

The patient's cervical spine is displayed three-dimensionally on the screen, and the point and direction of the nails have been marked with colored lines. The surgeon only needs to face the screen and play games to operate the machine.

As long as the screw is aligned with the point of needle insertion according to the indicated line, along the direction of needle insertion, it will then drill into the bone and stop at the marked depth.

Whether the screw is in the ideal position and whether it penetrates the bone is clear and clear at a glance.

Even if your hand shakes, your brain short-circuits for a while, and you make a wrong move, the machine will automatically correct it for you.

For example, when the screw reaches a predetermined depth, it will automatically stop and no longer move forward.

Therefore, under this technique, it is non-existent to drive the screw off.

In this way, the operation becomes easy and safe.

A young orthopedic resident can perform an operation requiring ten years of expert experience with only one hour of training.

Digital human technology, if combined with surgical robots, will exert great power.

The digital human can perform digital simulation of the operation, and simulate the changes of the patient before, during and after the operation with a computer, and then continuously optimize the plan, and finally use the optimal plan directly during the operation.

As for the development direction of spinal external fixator, Yang Ping intends to use it to embrace digital humans and surgical robots.

Children’s orthopedics do not require osteotomy, but adult orthopedics still require osteotomy, which is different from traditional osteotomy.

In traditional surgical osteotomy, the deformity is corrected directly by osteotomy, and then the osteotomy is fused to make the spine lose part of its mobility.

The osteotomy required by the external fixator is completely different. It relies on distraction osteogenesis at the osteotomy to correct the deformity. Sacrifice the mobility of the spine to obtain a natural spine.

Of course, the biggest weakness of this method is that the orthopedic process is gradual and takes a certain amount of time.And during the orthopedic surgery, the external fixator is exposed on the lower back, which affects people's daily life.

Fang Faquan's operation is complete and he is ready to go to bed.

The external fixator on his leg needs to be worn for a year, which is worthwhile compared to being able to walk normally for the rest of his life.

For a manual laborer, this is unacceptable.

Because he cannot engage in physical labor for a year, he has no income.

Fortunately, Fang Faquan was fully prepared. He was alone, and the whole family was fed by himself, and he had many years of savings.

For today's surgery, he has prepared for many years.

Moreover, before the operation, he reached an agreement with the hotel owner to let the boss continue to buy medical insurance and social insurance, and he will pay the money himself. After he is cured, he will return to the hotel to work.

Of course the boss agreed, saying that as long as he was willing to sign a ten-year contract, he could be paid a minimum salary of one year.

Fang Faquan said that he is a skilled person.

That being said, he is really a skilled person.

Being able to cook a few bowls of dishes well is technology.

It seems that the loss of his light bulb in the restaurant where he works has a great impact.

"Professor Yang, I have already discussed with the head nurse. I ordered meals for all the doctors and nurses in the department at noon, and the restaurant will deliver them to your lounge on time at twelve o'clock."

Fang Faquan is quite good at being a man, and Xiao Wu thinks that if this boy heals his leg, it will not be a big problem to find a better wife.

"If you have the skills, it will be great to open your own restaurant in the future, and be the boss!" Zhang Lin told Fang Faquan.

But Fang Faquan said: "Not everyone is destined to be a boss. I have a weak foundation and I can't stand it. If I don't succeed, it will take many years to accumulate. It's not that I don't want to be a boss. The reality does not allow it. You must bow to reality, even if you open a restaurant, you have to wait until you have the capital at hand.”

Fang Faquan went over the bed to the flat car, and Zhang Lin continued to chat with him:
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."

Fang Faquan has his own philosophy: "Small wealth depends on hard work, and great wealth depends on fate. After all, there are only a few generals. In addition to ability, there must also be opportunities. I understand it by myself."

Yang Ping was not going to participate in the subsequent surgery. He went back to the office to see the report of the clinical trial application made by Ruixing Company, so he followed Pingche back to the ward.

The inventor of the spinal external fixator is Yang Ping, but the ownership is owned by Ruixing Company.

Therefore, the application of the experiment is initiated by Ruixing, and Ruixing also has a special cooperative company to operate these.

When Fang Faquan was delivered to the ward, the owner of their restaurant brought several employees and waited for him at the door of the ward, carrying a basket of fruit.

These employees call each other "Brother Fang", which shows that this guy is a person of status in the hotel.

-

At the headquarters of Ruixing Company, Huang Jiacai was sitting in the office, full of vigor.

There is a sample of the spinal external fixator on the desk. If the clinical trial is approved, this set of equipment will be applied to the human body immediately, and a new spinal correction method will be produced.

The company's products are being prepared to be gradually replaced by products with independent intellectual property rights instead of imitation products.

For trauma and sports medicine products, the company is ready for a comprehensive replacement. Boxes of products have been placed in the warehouse and can be shipped to branches across the country.

The next step is to improve the spine and joint products, so that the entire orthopedic product line can be laid out.

These products with independent intellectual property rights are not controlled by others in terms of patents, and there are no major innovations.

For example, the meniscus suturing gun, Ruixing's new product can suture continuously, but the meniscus is still sutured, and the treatment method is the same as that of the peers.

However, the spinal external fixator is different. Once launched, it will revolutionize the entire treatment concept. This is the first product of Ruixing to subvert the treatment concept.

This is a true original product!
In fact, entering clinical trials means entering the market.

This will cause a strong shock in the orthopedic device market. Since Huang Jiacai took over Ruixing, the strategy of "two peaches kill three people" will be completely ended, and the company will enter the moment of confrontation with giants such as Johnson & Johnson and Zimmer.

This day will fall sooner or later!

The timing is a bit early, but if it is later, there may be no chance of growth.

So the time will never be as ripe as imagined.

"Mr. Huang! We have reached the eighth round of negotiations with Johnson & Johnson, and the seventh round with Zimmer? Do you want to continue the negotiation?"

Huang Jiahui asked.

Huang Jiacai said with a smile: "Of course, as long as they still want to beat their opponents, they will not give up the idea of ​​acquiring or controlling us."

Huang Jiahui has never understood why her brother can hold these two companies firmly:
"Why do they take the trouble to negotiate with us and bargain with us?"

Huang Jiacai said confidently: "Because it's not the two companies that play this game, but the three companies. Johnson & Johnson and Zimmer will hold each other's swords firmly and never let go. No one wants the other party to annex us. Once one party annexes us, it will be powerful. If the market balance is broken, the other party will be at a disadvantage. This is something no one wants to see. The reason why they negotiate with us in this way is not because they want to do so, but because of the situation.”

"Then why do they have to make it so complicated? With their strength, they can completely draw out the bottom line and carry out patent litigation just like before?" Huang Jiahui still didn't understand.

Huang Jiacai had no choice but to patiently explain to his sister: "One moment, another moment. In the past, all of our imitations were Johnson & Johnson's devices, and life and death were all controlled by the family. Now we are half imitating Johnson & Johnson and half imitating Zimmer. Once anyone sues us, we will To his opponents, the essence of capital is profit-seeking, and when they ignore small profits, they must be staring at big profits somewhere."

"I still don't understand!" Huang Jiahui felt that it was too complicated.

Huang Jiacai had no choice but to take out a book from the bookshelf and hand it to his sister: "The story of two peaches killing three men, please read it carefully."

"Brother, I only know that you are very smart and you will succeed in everything!" Huang Jiahui admired her brother very much.

Huang Jiacai said: "It's not that I'm so smart, I just follow the trend. Capital can never escape the control of the invisible hand of profit. Our quiet time is running out. Soon, we will start to confront Johnson & Johnson Zimmer. Confrontation, it will be very fierce and fierce, and you will see the real fangs of capital."

After reading the story in the book, Jiahui seemed to understand the truth, and continued to ask: "Don't they know that your negotiation is a tactic to slow down the war, and you won't let any party buy Ruixing?"

Huang Jiacai shook his head: "Even if they know it, they have to do it. This is the difference between a conspiracy and a conspiracy. Once a conspiracy is discovered by others, it will be difficult to achieve its goal. But even if you know that there is a trap in front of you, you still have to jump, don't jump." The loss is greater."

　The treatment of scoliosis with spinal external fixation has not been successfully studied in reality, but there are several teams at home and abroad who are studying this topic.
