Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 70 Gone like a shooting star

Growing up in Chicago, Chen Yu's biggest impression of that city was that there were basketball courts everywhere.

Football and baseball also require a special piece of land, but basketball does not. An area as big as a palm, with a basket nailed to the wall, is a court.

The same goes for Phoenix.

At the end of a street, only an 800-meter walk from Hardaway's house, there is such a small stadium, sandwiched between two low red brick buildings.Not far away is an elevated highway. Under the elevated highway is a paradise for homeless people, so the environment is mixed and the environment is not good.

The stadium is surrounded by broken iron railings, the walls on both sides are covered with all kinds of graffiti, and the lines on the ground have long been mottled and unclear.

In the night, the dim street lights flickered on and off. Chen Yu walked alone through the streets full of mines vigilantly, and successively rejected the warm invitations of several scantily clad girls in the darkness.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the stadium, a tall black shadow emerged from behind a long-defunct vending machine opposite, which startled Chen Yu.

"Snow, you will scare people to death if you do this." After seeing the person clearly, Chen Yu complained in a low voice.

He is Hardaway's personal bodyguard.

It is said that he is a distant cousin of Hardaway. I dare not say whether he is professional or not, but he is really big. If he rushes to block his employer's gun when in danger like in the movie, he should be able to block a full magazine.

Snow grinned, showing a pair of white teeth suspended in the darkness, pointed toward the court, and then retreated into the darkness.

Chen Yu walked into the stadium.

On two rows of rusted iron shelves against the fence, a person sat like a sculpture.

Chen Yu walked over and, using the dim light, hesitated for a while before choosing a place to sit down.

"Why, it's dirty, but that's right. How can an elite like you, who comes from a wealthy family, understand the lives of people like us?" Hardaway sneered in a rather aggressive tone.

Chen Yu was confused. Rich man?

I didn’t bring you up to curse like this.

I have a loan worth hundreds of thousands, and yet, with an annual salary of tens of millions, I have the nerve to call myself a rich man.

Also, your leg is injured and your eyes are probably fine. Can you really not see how dirty this shelf is?

The chewing gum randomly pressed on the wooden board was dark black, and it looked like blood stains from oxidation reaction, and there were some traces that Chen Yu couldn't distinguish at all. I just picked a clean place to sit down, but it didn't work.

However, Chen Yu did not refute, but followed Hardaway's words and asked, "What is life like for people like you?"

Before this, Chen Yu didn't pay much attention to Hardaway. He only remembered that the media said that he was born in poverty.

But the entire NBA is basically like this, with a few Hill and a few Laimbeer.

Hardaway curled his lips: "What else could he be like, just a poor boy who grew up in Binghamton, burdened by two irresponsible bastards in a night of passion, and then abandoned like garbage? It's difficult. Growing up, he only had boring stories about basketball as his companion."

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, you are quite good at summarizing.

This story can be applied to at least 30.00% of the players in the league.

"No more?" Chen Yu asked.

Hardaway frowned, not knowing what else to say.

Chen Yu said: "Shouldn't you talk about how you fell in love with basketball, how you became the greatest player at Toledoville High School, how you became the No. [-] high school student in the United States, and how you, together with Hill and the others, gave you the dream The old guys in the team suddenly showed off their power."

"Finally, you entered the league with the name of the second Magic Johnson. How did it take two seasons for Michael to say that you were his successor?"

Chen Yu took a long breath and his tongue was knotted.

Hardaway looked at Chen Yu in astonishment: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Chen Yu raised his head and glanced at the night sky. The moon and stars were sparse. Phoenix in the desert had a very beautiful starry sky.

"You said that for a rich man like me, do you want to hear my story?" Chen Yu asked back, and before Hadawed could say more, he said, "I was born in Manhattan, New York. Just like you said, I grew up in a luxury apartment building, and from my room I could see the towering Petronas Twin Towers."

"My father was a respected surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, and my mother had a separate office on Peak Street and was a lawyer, although she worked in court. In school, she is sharp and eloquent, but in real life, she is gentle and considerate. When she is free from work, she takes cooking classes and bakes the most delicious brownies for me."

"I went to an aristocratic school. My best friend's name is Nick. His father works at a large investment bank on Wall Street. We especially like to practice long-distance running together after school. Then as you can imagine, I grew up carefree. , and then with my father’s recommendation letter, he entered his alma mater, Cornell University Medical School, and became a respected doctor as they wished.”

In the night, Hardaway snorted coldly. Sure enough, it was exactly what he thought.

How could these damn rich elites, who were not from the same world as themselves, feel their own pain.

"wrong."

Chen Yu suddenly gave a cold shout, which made Hada tremble in fear, and then said: "Anfenni, have you never read the newspaper? If you had read the newspaper, you wouldn't believe my nonsense."

Hardaway blinked, a little confused.

"I wasn't born in Manhattan. I grew up in a rough neighborhood in Chicago, just like you. My father, he was a good father, but when he retired due to injury, he became an alcoholic asshole. And my mother is not a lawyer at all, she is just a poor woman who works two jobs every day and worked hard to raise me."

"What about brownies? What I ate most every day when I was a child were the leftovers she brought back from the restaurant where I worked. Once, I even dug out a pair of dentures."

"By the way, there's also Nick. This bastard's father works as a cleaner at the bank. His favorite thing to do every day is to chase and beat me after school. Don't tell me about being abandoned by my parents. When I was a kid, I wish I had The bastard father could have abandoned us instead of being like a loser who got himself drunk every day, vented his anger on us about his miserable life, and finally soaked in the river and asked us to borrow money to bury him."

"So Anfernee." Chen Yu stared at Hardaway: "Put away your pitiful self-pity. We are the same kind of people. We have worked so hard to get here. We do not allow failure in our lives. You You should be like a fighter. I know you have been tortured by injuries for many years, but if you just give up, future generations will only remember that there was a guy named Anfernee Hardaway who flashed like a shooting star. And passed away."

"He is called Jordan's successor, but he will never become Jordan. He is just a poor guy who is tortured by injuries and will never reach his peak."

Hardaway looked at Chen Yu in confusion. In the night sky in the distance, there was a stream of light that seemed to match the scene. It flashed away at an extremely fast speed and disappeared into the darkness.

Chen Yu didn't give Hadaway a chance to say anything more. He stood up and patted his butt.

"Also, don't fucking say that I find it dirty. Knowing that the stands are dirty, some people will choose to sit down indifferently, but I will try my best to find a clean place inside."

"So if you still want to fight like Zeng Jin, then show up at the hospital on time at ten o'clock tomorrow morning!"

After saying that, Chen Yu turned around and left.

When passing the vending machine, Chen Yu paused slightly: "Keep an eye on him, I don't want to turn on the TV tomorrow and see the news that Phoenix star Pence was shot and died tragically on the morning news."

In the shadows, Snow silently put down the chocolate bar in his hand and nervously touched the gun on his waist.

The next day, Chen Yu arrived at St. Luke's Hospital early.

Wearing the white coat again.

Chen Yu had already contacted Wash, and she agreed without much thought.

For doctors like them, being able to treat celebrities and cure them is a rare opportunity.

She also proposed that she would like to collaborate with Chen Yu on this surgery and write a paper.

Naturally, Chen Yu would not refuse, and specifically asked her if she could also invite the nurse from Julianne Kopke to be the surgical nurse.

This is a very critical operation, and Chen Yu also hopes to have more luck.

It was the first time for Wash to ask a nurse to perform a knife. However, Kopke agreed because Chen Yu gave her a reward that she could not refuse.

They will arrive in Phoenix tomorrow.

Today, the main thing is to admit Hardaway to the hospital.

But before Hardaway arrived at the hospital, another person arrived first.

Gugliotta, the former Wolf King, the first All-Star player in the history of the Timberwolves.

He is tall, slightly thin, wearing a loose shirt, has curly black hair, and has a gentle personality.

Chen Yu's eyes glanced at his knees.

Shockingly, three entire ligaments were broken, namely the anterior cruciate ligament, the lateral collateral ligament, and the patellar ligament.

The front fork should be completely broken, and the lateral collateral ligament is not completely broken, but only half torn.

The situation of the patellar ligament is much better, it is only torn once or so. After all, this ligament is thick and strong, and it is difficult to completely break it.

Chen Yu could speculate that he was injured at that time. He must have pushed his knee outwards so hard that the joint almost slipped, and three ligaments were broken at once.

Aaron Nelson, who came with him, handed over Gugliotta’s thick medical records.

In fact, Chen Yu could see how Gugliotta treated him without looking.

His ruptured anterior cruciate ligament received an autograft.

It is taken from the patellar ligament.

Because the patellar ligament is thick, a portion can be cut from the middle to replace the anterior cruciate ligament.

Chen Yu estimated that Emerson also saw that his patellar ligament was torn at that time. It was supposed to be sutured and repaired, so he simply removed part of it, so he did not choose the hamstring tendon on the back of the thigh. "Why didn't you choose artificial ligament?" Chen Yu muttered.

Artificial ligaments have developed to the third generation, and the probability of causing synovitis has dropped to less than one percent, making it a good choice.

The most troublesome thing about autologous transplantation is that the transplanted ligament has no blood supply, and without blood supply, it is difficult for it to grow well.

Hardaway's anterior cruciate ligament repair surgery has the same difficulty. The anterior cruciate ligament is located in the middle of the joint and is surrounded by joint fluid. This joint fluid actually inhibits the healing of the ligament.

If it weren't for the system, who would dare to say that it could be restored to nine functions.

Moreover, tendons are transplanted. Although tendons and ligaments are both fibrous connective tissue, tendons are more elastic. As a result, the transplanted tendons will be too elastic, causing joint instability.

In comparison, it is better to choose artificial ligaments that are several times stronger than autologous ligaments.

Although it will have a useful life, it is more suitable for athletes. The worst case scenario is that after their careers are over, they can be removed and then reconstructed with their own bodies.

Nelson thought for a moment and said, "Richard has his own considerations."

Chen Yu said nothing more, looking at the medical records and thinking about countermeasures.

Perhaps seeing Chen Yu in trouble, Gugliotta also said: "Chen, if there is no other way, forget it, at least I can still play."

If another operation is performed, it will be reimbursed for the season.

Anyway, he has signed a big contract, and it should be the last big contract of his career. He is not sure whether he can regain Zeng Jin's form.

Next to him, Nelson silently said, "Look away. Brian can't look away. He still wants to die."

Chen Yu glanced at Gugliotta's knees again.

He had an operation in March last year, and after a summer of recovery, he was able to play. In fact, he recovered well.

It should be a very professional person who helped him complete the rehabilitation plan.

The kind that can beat Haston eight hundred blocks.

Is it Nelson?
Chen Yu raised his head and glanced at this guy who looked a lot like Tom Hanks. He was the chief trainer of the Sun.

The medical departments of each team in the league are different. Like the Magic, the chief trainer is Daniel, who is only responsible for training, while Haston is responsible for physical therapy and rehabilitation.

But on the Suns side, Nelson has a medical background and is not only responsible for training, but also for rehabilitation.

So this guy should be a master.

Now in the season, when Gugliotta can still play, it is unrealistic to choose to undergo surgery and transplant artificial ligaments.

Chen Yu said: "Tom, your current situation is still under control and you should not undergo surgery. When the season is over, we can consider arthroscopic surgery and transplant artificial ligaments to restore the function of your knee. For now, it is better to recover." Mainly training and maintenance.”

For this kind of surgery, arthroscopy can be used, and the recovery period is shorter, which is almost three months. It is just right to do it in the summer.

For now, let’s look at the system.

Gugliotta nodded with a smile. If Brian hadn't requested it, he wouldn't have even wanted to come and see it.

Next to him, Nelson also nodded silently. At least Chen Yu was not a brainless and superstitious doctor. Of course, Hardaway had to say something else. In his situation, it would be impossible without surgery.

After chatting with Brian about Gugliotta's situation, he sent him away.

Brian looked helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

"Where's Anfernee, when will you come over?" Brian asked again.

Chen Yu glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already eight minutes past ten o'clock.

Could this guy have really chickened out?

Just as he was thinking about it, the door was pushed open and Hardaway appeared accompanied by Boston.

Chen Yu hummed: "I thought you weren't coming."

"Traffic jam."

Hardaway stepped forward and suddenly extended his right hand.

Chen Yu was stunned, what did this mean?

Hardaway took Chen Yu's left hand and held it with his, and then said firmly: "Let's try again."

Chen Yu nodded dumbfounded.

The two people next to them were confused. What was this fight for?
Hardaway arrived as scheduled, and the next step was to take him to the hospital for preoperative preparation.

The two men arrived the next morning.

Chen Yu went to the side door to greet him. As soon as he walked out, he saw Wash, wearing a striped shirt and sunglasses, with blond hair hanging on his shoulders, walking quickly dragging a small suitcase.

Behind him was Julianne Koepke, who was dressed like she was on vacation.

"List!"

Wash stepped forward and hugged Chen Yu with a smile, and then said: "You are a famous person now."

More than two months ago, in Mayo, Chen Yu was still a nobody who was pointed at by Billings and scolded as a rookie. Now, at least in the basketball world, Chen Yu has a very famous name, and is praised by the media for bringing Hill back to the game. A man at his peak.

Just as Chen Yu was about to speak, a group of reporters suddenly came rushing to his right.

Chen Yu's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly motioned for Wash to come in.

"So many reporters." Julianne said in surprise.

Chen Yuxin said that there are only a few of them. Looking back at the disease conference will definitely open your eyes.

"You know, he's Penny."

A well-known star in the United States can be a joke.

Wash nodded silently, feeling the pressure instantly.

Taking the two of them to the office, while chatting, Chen Yu's cell phone rang.

I took it out and saw it was Maddie calling.

"You want to ask about Hardaway's situation?" Chen Yu immediately guessed the reason.

McGrady said: "Chen, will Anfernee be okay?"

Chen Yu smiled and said: "You are asking this question because you don't believe in my medical skills?"

"No." McGrady hurriedly denied that Hill's current hot state is all due to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu didn't say much and said: "Don't worry, I will take good care of him, but it's you yourself. Has Plessy been training you to death recently?"

McGrady has congenital scoliosis, so he still needs to pay attention to rest.

Maddie said: "Mr. Weisbrod talked with him, so he didn't train so hard."

The most important thing is that Hill is back, the Magic's record is getting better, and Plessy is less stressed.

"That's good." Chen Yu made a special call to Weisbrod and asked him to talk to Plessy on the grounds that Hill had just returned and could not overtrain.

If you train like Plessy and you don't keep an eye on him, there will really be problems.

After arriving at the office and exchanging pleasantries, Chen Yu introduced to Wash the situation of Hardaway and the procedure of this operation.

After listening patiently, Wash also shivered hard.

"Ligament repair, meniscus repair, and microfracture surgery, all three surgeries were performed together. Especially the anterior cruciate ligament, which not only suffered a second-degree tear in the middle, but also avulsion at the insertion point of the proximal posterolateral tibial bundle. It requires nail fixation and microfracture surgery, tsk tsk.”

Wash looked at the MRI film and grinned. In her opinion, it was better to do it separately. It would be too difficult to do it all at once.

How to create a bone tunnel? Orthopedics has been developing for so many years, but we still haven’t figured it out yet.

Chen Yu smiled and said nothing, but in his heart he thought that the difficulty of the operation was nothing, it was just a matter of knocking.

What is really difficult is recovery after surgery.

But I had been preparing for this surgery for so long, and there was no reason to back down.
