Chapter 1666: 1609 You Want to Test a Hybrid Joint?

Opening the joint cavity, on the operating table besides Zheng Ren and Xie Yiren, everyone held their breath, carefully watching the operative field.

Here, what is about to appear is the key to judging Mr. Wang's condition.

"Rotate externally another 10 degrees." Zheng Ren said.

"All right." Lao He responded, under sterile drapes, gently rotating the patient's leg.

The patient is already in his nineties; using even a little force could possibly cause a fracture.

Lao He had seen similar intraoperative secondary injuries before, so he was extremely careful; in front of Zheng Lao Ban, he absolutely could not allow any mistake!

While rotating the patient's lower limb, Lao He also had to strain his head back, wanting to see whether, as Zheng Ren said, there were any ceramic fragments in the operative field.

Thinking about it, it all seemed absurd. But Lao He had confidence in Zheng Ren, almost infinite confidence.

Zheng Ren saw Lao He's awkward posture, knew what he was thinking, and said: "All right, this is the spot. Hold on a moment, Lao He, I'll take it out for you to see."

"All right." Lao He's response to the surgeon's orders, especially Zheng Ren's, was always simple and concise.

In the Operating Field, at the position of the metal femoral head, there indeed appeared a segment of connective tissue.

Su Yun reached out, wanting to touch it.

With a "pa" sound, the hemostatic forceps struck Su Yun's radial styloid.

"What are you doing!" Su Yun exclaimed.

"Be careful, don't touch it yet, or you'll hurt your hand." Zheng Ren said calmly.

Doctor Ji En Ta stood behind Zheng Ren and suddenly saw scratches on the metal femoral head.

Strange, how could a femoral head made of special metal have scratches? Could it really be, as this presumably Nobel Prize‑winning doctor said, due to his own surgical mishap?

Impossible!

Doctor Ji En Ta immediately gave himself a strong psychological suggestion.

He had performed over a thousand hip replacement surgeries, so familiar it was ingrained in his bones.

But…… that spot should not have any sharp object appear.

Zheng Ren began using hemostatic forceps for Blunt Dissection of the connective tissue's surrounding connections, or using an electrocautery to cut, or an ultrasonic scalpel with papapa sounds, choosing the most suitable method to minimize trauma to the area.

His technique was so skilled that Doctor Ji En Ta stared dumbfounded.

Isn't it said that this presumably Nobel Prize‑winning person is the brother‑in‑law of the Swedish king? … Well, that's the legend at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Supposedly that's the case, and everyone firmly believes it.

Awarding the Nobel Prize to the Swedish king's brother‑in‑law … is not without precedent.

That so‑and‑so, when he was in his twenties, received recommendations from Einstein and Schrödinger, and won the Nobel Prize for a rather unremarkable theory, precisely because of his countless ties to the royal family.

Furthermore, that so‑and‑so won the Nobel Physics Prize for an LED lamp, which is simply absurd.

Therefore Doctor Ji En Ta firmly believes this rumor is true.

But what unfolds before his eyes is a superb surgery, beyond doubt.

Although he had only begun to separate a fibrous hyperplasia inside the cavity, Doctor Ji En Ta could see the surgeon's exquisite technique.

Compared to himself…… stronger, much stronger.

This is impossible! I am the world's number one in hip joint surgery! That old immortal at Hopkins can't even operate anymore; he can't do it, and Doctor Ji En Ta really can't think of anyone who could be stronger than me.

Yet this person who is stronger than me appears so inexplicably before my eyes.

After 3′12″, the connective tissue was completely dissected and cut.

Zheng Ren placed it on a piece of gauze, not continuing the surgery but instead beginning to dissect the connective tissue.

He knew there was video equipment here, and the Wang family outside could watch the entire surgical process.

Although for the surgeon, such monitoring measures are certainly unpleasant, but the Wang family has money, right?

Su Yun mentioned a huge sum, and only then did he agree to surgery under monitoring. Anyway, the surgery was already being live‑streamed; what's missing there?

He had confidence in Zheng Ren, surely there would be no mistake at the critical moment.

That guy is rock solid.

Zheng Ren carefully palpated the connective tissue, found a position, and began dissecting with blunt scissors.

Doctor Ji En Ta, Su Yun, and Lao He all held their breath, focusing all attention on the connective tissue in Zheng Ren's hands.

Soon, a white corner appeared in everyone's view.

This…… Doctor Ji En Ta's heart seemed to stop beating for a moment!

Very familiar, although it had been in the body for three years, this is the color of a ceramic hip joint.

The entire process of the previous surgery appeared with perfect clarity in Doctor Ji En Ta's mind.

Initially a ceramic joint was used, but a minor problem arose, so reluctantly the ceramic segment was removed. During the removal, because he was a bit impatient, the ceramic joint shattered.

All the fragments were found, with no residue left.

What is going on? Doctor Ji En Ta felt dazed.

Because of massive adrenaline secretion, blood vessels constricted, making his hands and feet cold. With a large amount of blood flooding the brain, Blood Pressure Increase, Doctor Ji En Ta felt his vision blur a little.

"Here, Su Yun, you lost." Zheng Ren said with a smile.

"Really ceramic fragments?" Su Yun, without the dejection of losing the bet, raised his head, the contempt in his eyes like a tide, then spoke in English: "Doctor Ji En Ta, dubbed the world's number one in hip joint replacement. It's really hard to believe your surgery would be so crude."

Doctor Ji En Ta: ……

"With such a large piece of ceramic left in the patient's body, are you trying to test a hybrid joint?"

"Simply unbelievable……"

"Su Yun, focus on the surgery." Zheng Ren placed the ceramic fragment in his hand into a tray, then picked up the hemostatic forceps and blunt scissors, tapped Su Yun's hemostatic forceps, then lowered his head and began the surgery.

Finding the cause is only part of the surgery.

What remains is to cut off all parts of the metal hip joint again, then replace it with a brand‑new hip joint.

The coating on the original hip joint surface had been scraped by the ceramic, and cobalt metal poisoning stems from this.

Shou Bing had just begun; they needed to take out the hip joint from 3 years ago and replace it with a brand‑new hip joint, and the difficulty of Shou Bing was extremely high.

……

In the observation room outside the Operating Room, the Wang family finally let out a breath.

The eldest uncle and second uncle knew, the father's illness root had been found.

It is this ceramic fragment left in the body that is causing the trouble, leading to the problem.

"Brother, Yan Master is truly amazing." Second Uncle praised.

"Hmm, I'll send a message to Yan Master." The Wang family's eldest uncle laughed lightly and happily, took out his phone, and called Yan Master.

The phone rang for a long time before the other side answered.

It was somewhat noisy; it seemed a teenager was constantly loudly saying something.

"Yan Master?" the Wang family's eldest uncle asked tentatively.

"Hmm, go on." Yan Master's imposing, mountain-like aura emanated from the phone earpiece.

"Look at this, can you see it clearly?" The teenager's voice came from the phone, and the Wang family's eldest uncle could even picture him jumping up and down.
