16-year-old Xiaopeng
Dreams from a young age
It's about being a magician
"In my opinion, magicians should be the chosen ones, and they can always use their wisdom to change endless possibilities."
"One day, I will stand on the world stage like them and perform my dream for everyone."
——Excerpt from Xiao Peng's diary
But
The accident came sooner than the dream
6 months ago
In an accident, Xiao Peng's right index finger was sawn by a chainsaw, which completely shattered and destroyed the near interphalangeal joint of the index finger.
After surgery at the local hospital, the results were not ideal – the crushed and damaged knuckles could not be repaired, only the fusion could be removed.
However, the index finger without joints cannot be flexed and extended normally, which seriously affects Xiaopeng's normal life.
Before the accident, the young Xiaopeng was full of vitality.
After the accident, he became a troubled child.
Because being a magician became a dream that he could never complete in this life...
Since then, Xiaopeng has begun a long road to seek medical treatment.
They went to a lot of places, a lot of hospitals,
Doctors have said that the knuckle function can only be restored through "artificial joint replacement" surgery, but only if the artificial joint is implanted.
Xiaopeng is only 16 years old, and with the growth and development of the future, artificial joints may need to be replaced repeatedly.
Coupled with the distrust of the artificial joints themselves, Xiaopeng's parents have never been able to accept this treatment plan.

When Director of Trauma Microsurgery Wang Feiyun
It was already half a year after the accident in Xiaopeng
Half a year's journey to medical treatment
Let Xiao Peng's face appear prematurely
Not a mature person of this age
His parents' sideburns
It also produces many conspicuous gray hairs
"Doctor, the child's hand... He is only 16 years old, please think of a way to save him! ”
(At this time, the second joint of Xiaopeng's right index finger cannot be bent)
After careful inspection
Wang Feiyun found Xiao Peng
The right index finger is slightly radiused and straightened deformity at the distal segment,
The proximal interphalangeal joints are stiff and unable to actively and passively flex their movements,
X-rays show that the interphalangeal space of the index finger of the right hand is absent
Considering the demands of the Xiaopeng family
Combined with the actual situation
Director Wang Feiyun proposed one
What no one thinks
A completely new treatment plan
Transplant the toe joint onto the finger
Finger knuckle reconstruction
Seemingly impossible
But it healed a family that was about to be broken
"Director Wang, after the transplant, there is no toe joint, which affects normal life?"
"The joints of the toes and fingers are the closest, and the fusion effect is the best after transplantation, because the toe joints are rarely used in daily life, so the impact on life is very small."
Hear that
The Xiaopeng family was overjoyed
Immediately agree to the procedure
After perfecting the preoperative examination and preparation, Director Wang Feiyun and Physician Xu Jizhong performed a right-handed index knuckle reconstruction for Xiaopeng.
Design and measure the length of toe flaps and joints
The flaps, blood vessels, nerves, and joints of the toes are removed according to the design scheme and then prepared
Remove the original damaged joint between the fingers of the finger
Finally, the interphalangeal joints of the spare toes are transplanted

After the operation, Xiaopeng returned to the ward
After 20 days
The wound heals
Discharged home
Now 2 months after surgery
Xiao Peng's right index finger
Internal fixation has been removed
Start practicing extension and flexion
A little more time
Xiaopeng's right finger joint function
It's just like a normal finger
A magician's dream
Waving at him!
Director Wang Feiyun had something to say
Xiao Peng's surgery, compared with ordinary artificial joint replacement, is very difficult,
Because the operation only intercepts part of the interphalangeal joint of the toe, the blood vessels, nerves, and tendons of this part are matched with the blood vessels, nerves, and tendons of the fingers under the microscope.
But because it is its own joint
Xiaopeng does not have a rejection reaction
And the joints grow as the body develops
This avoids repeated surgeries
