Zhang Yi immediately arranged hospital beds for the old man and the little girl, and set the operation time for ten o'clock the next morning.

After arranging everything, Zhang Yi went to the orthopedist's office with the medical record folder.

"Hey, Zhang Yi, why are you here?”Lu Ming asked Zhang Yi.

"I have a patient in your department. It's a little girl with a fractured ankle. She's scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning.”

"Are you going for orthopedic surgery? That's great, that's great. I want to be your assistant!”Lu Ming clapped his hands and shouted.

"Sigh, I want to go too!"

"I'll go too!" All the doctors and nurses were vying to be Zhang Yi's assistant, which made Zhang Yi feel embarrassed.

"What are you going to do? Not going to work? Why did the doctors squeeze into the operating theater without caring about the patients in the ward?”Wang Peng, the director of the Orthopedic Surgery Department, scolded them. Everyone immediately went back to their desks quietly.

"No one is allowed to go! I'll go." Wang Peng added.

?!?!?

Director, is this appropriate?

Before he got off work, Lu Ming wanted to drag Zhang Yi along to the Orthopedics Department's gathering, but Zhang Yi rejected him.

"What's so good about singing in a KTV? I'm not going, I'm not going."

"Let's go! The nurse in our Orthopedics Department is recognized as the most beautiful in the entire hospital! Let's go and take a look together!"

Zhang Yi shook his head and said," Big brother, good-looking faces are all the same, but interesting souls are one in a million!" If you have the time to play, you might as well improve yourself. Good-looking ladies will naturally take the initiative to find you.”

"Wow, Zhang Yi, I didn't expect your realm to be so high. 666, but you won't…She's still a virgin, right?"

"Get lost!" Zhang Yi's face darkened.

At night, Zhang Yi read some books and entered the System Training Space early. After all, there was a bone fracture surgery tomorrow morning. Although it was not a major surgery, Zhang Yi did not want to be careless.

After all, the other party was still a child. He had to be 100% perfect. Otherwise, it would not be good if there were any aftereffects.

Orthopedics surgeries were much more 'careless' compared to the very delicate surgeries in the brain. Orthopedics surgeries did not require high-powered microscopes, nor did they require overly precise and small surgical instruments.

Limb replantation had many similarities with bone fracture stabilization.

The former involved suturing blood vessels, broken bones, and even muscle tissue. As for the latter, it was simple to suture and fix the broken bones. The latter was relatively simpler.

Usually, one only needed to make a skin incision at the fracture site, and then choose a suitable screw or high-pressure nail according to the patient's skeleton to fix it. Then, a suitable steel plate was chosen to stick close to the bone wall, and the screw was drilled into it to fix it again.

Usually, patients with ankle fractures would have five to six screws, but the exact number would depend on the patient's condition.

Finally, he sutured the incision and put on a cast to stabilize it.

As the old saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt one's tendons and bones.

Basically, it was only after three months of surgery that he could determine if the steel plate and screws could be removed.

For example, if the patient was over 60 years old, they would not need to remove the steel plates and screws if they did not corrode in the body. If the steel plates and screws swam, fell off, or corroded in the body, then no matter what age, the steel plates and screws must be removed immediately to avoid irreversible consequences.

After practicing for another night, Zhang Yi had already completed 80% of his limb replantation surgery. Moreover, Zhang Yi had also focused on practicing bone fracture stabilization for a while last night.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the little girl was pushed into the operating room. The general anesthesia method for bone fracture surgery was spinal anesthesia or peridura anesthesia. However, considering that the child might cry when he saw the bloody scene of cutting the skin, Zhang Yi used general anesthesia to perform the surgery.

The first step was to disinfect a large area. Then, he began to cut open the skin according to the route marked by the marker pen, followed by the fascia and periost. He used a cotton pad to suck away the excess blood, and then used a hemostatic clip to turn the cut skin outwards to fully expose the fracture site.

First, the traction frame was used to pull the two broken bones to the same level. Then, a bone drill was used to pierce the fracture from the tip of the inner malleolus to the broken end and the outer side, and the screw was screwed in diagonally. Then, he fixed the steel plate at the outer hole and inserted the screws into it to fix it again.

Finally, the wound was sutured, disinfected, and bandaged with cotton gauze. The cast was fixed at 90 to 95 degrees of the ankle. Generally, the cast could be removed after about a month. However, during this period of time, it was not allowed to exercise vigorously to prevent the fracture from happening again.

Wang Peng, the director of the Orthopedic Surgery Department, watched Zhang Yi's operation step by step. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhang Yi with a complicated expression."Your skills…Where did you learn it?"

"He must have learned it in school, Director Wang." Zhang Yi laughed.”

That's true... But Wang Peng couldn't help but marvel. His proficiency, operation, and even the suturing of the wound at the end were so perfect. He really didn't know how this kid practiced it!

He looked as if he was more experienced than the director of the Orthopedic Department. However, seeing that he was about to retire, Wang Peng thought that he had finally found the next leader of the Orthopedic Surgery Department.
