Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 256

"Great teamwork, finally we've got it set. Bring the splint over and help to secure it!"

After manual manipulation and alignment, without fixation, it would be a wasted effort.

This time, Dr. Chen didn't need any guidance in applying the splint.

Because what he's done most frequently is applying splints and casts.

The specific fixation method used is determined flexibly by professional doctors based on the situation.

Once the splint was applied, Li Jingsheng felt the bones to check the effectiveness of the manual manipulation.

Quite satisfied.

The fracture line at the broken ends was almost undetectable by touch.

This indicates a highly successful bone alignment.

"Teacher, please take a look."

Li Jingsheng said to Doctor Xu.

Doctor Xu felt the fractured ends, then with one hand fixed the splint on the fracture area and with the other, gently tapped the fracture's distal end.

Fortunately, anesthesia was applied, otherwise, the patient would have fainted from pain countless times.

"Xiaoli, feel it again."

After tapping, Doctor Xu asked Li Jingsheng to palpate the bone for changes at the fracture site.

After feeling it, Li Jingsheng's face showed a look of understanding.

The fracture line at the broken end was almost completely gone, obviously indicating a higher degree of congruence than when he had initially aligned it. The broken end of the humerus became more stable after setting.

It's like a broken stick, gently aligned, easily breaking apart again.

If firmly aligned to a close fit, lifting it would show that the joined fracture site remains stable and unmoved, quite solid.

At this moment, the patient's humerus end had achieved this joint effect.

The teacher is truly remarkable!

His skill clearly surpasses that of this student.

However, for Li Jingsheng to be able to independently complete manual manipulation for transverse bone injuries after just about a month of learning is extremely impressive.

Doctor Xu is a master with decades of experience.

If Li Jingsheng were to practice for decades, he would undoubtedly be far superior.

"Your arm is set, but it must be carefully maintained. Ideally, rest for about a month. You need to come to the hospital for an X-ray check every two weeks."

Doctor Xu provided some instructions to the patient.

With this, the patient was considered dealt with.

After the patient left, Doctor Xu looked at Li Jingsheng.

"Do you know the purpose of my tapping on the distal fracture end just now?"

"It should be to allow the fractured ends to fit more snugly, enhancing the stability of the fracture connection."

Li Jingsheng's response brought great satisfaction to Doctor Xu.

A rare, gratified smile appeared on his face, "Your talent in bone setting is exceptional, and your perceptiveness and practicability are top-notch. Wouldn't it be great if you could dedicate yourself entirely to learning bone setting with me!"
