This is an interesting case. The joint deformation is so severe. How to restore the alignment, how to make up for the shortened length of the affected limb, and straighten the re-deformed joint.

It's quite a bit challenging.

"Are we going to have surgery?" The middle-aged woman was startled when she heard this.

But she immediately asked the key question: "So? How much will it cost?"

The patient seemed to be a little deaf, so he said nothing.

"At least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan should be prepared. She is going to have a joint replacement, and the joint prosthesis will cost at least 40,000 yuan. This will not be reimbursed," Min Hong said.

"It costs at least fifty or sixty thousand?" Her expression immediately became exaggerated, "Why is it so expensive?"

"doctor."

"Can our county hospital perform this surgery?"

She remembered that when she was in the county hospital, the director also told her that she needed to have a joint replacement, but she had to hire a specialist to do it. The money for hiring the specialist was not reimbursed and she had to pay for it herself. Otherwise, they would go to Shashi for treatment.

look.

Min Hong said: "Then I don't know. I can't evaluate the skills of other doctors. They may be able to do it, or they may not be able to do it. If you ask me, who should I ask?"

"Red star, write, it is recommended to undergo joint replacement surgery. Otherwise, there are risks such as paralysis and muscle atrophy."

After Min Hong said this, he added: "In her current condition, taking medicine will definitely not work. Her joints have completely collapsed, and her bones are grinding against her bones. No matter how much painkillers she takes, she can't stop it. And taking

Painkillers will make her stomach worse and worse, so don't let your mother-in-law take them."

"And it's still a waste of money."

The patient is still very fat. If the patient's family members are not willing, Min Hong would be happy. Otherwise, the effect after the operation will definitely not be as good as that of a thin person.

The middle-aged woman asked: "How long will it take for my mother-in-law to become paralyzed if she doesn't undergo surgery?"

"I don't know, maybe I won't be able to move in a few days, maybe half a year. If I'm lucky, I can still have four or five years."

"After the operation, will she be able to walk? Will she need a wheelchair or crutches?" she asked again.

"Then if she still has to use crutches or sit in a wheelchair after the operation, I will definitely not do it for her." Min Hong was very angry. "Nowadays, paralyzed people can still move in electric wheelchairs.

The money for the surgery is enough to buy several wheelchairs. What is the point of us doctors performing surgeries?"

"In her current situation, the prognosis of surgery may not be very good, but as long as she recovers well and exercises well after surgery, there won't be much difference between walking and walking like the old ladies outside."

"It will definitely not be a problem to help you with simple housework such as raising a grandchild, cooking a meal, and doing laundry."

The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Thank you, doctor, I'll think about it."

After saying that, she was about to open the address book on her phone, but after a moment of hesitation, she said: "Oh no, doctor, please issue me a hospitalization certificate first, and I will take my mother-in-law to the hospital."
