"The operation was a success." At 11:00 on January 19, Dr. Xiao Cong, director of the Department of Orthopedics of the Third Municipal Hospital, walked out of the operating room, explained the operation process to the family, and rushed to prepare for the next operation. Several surgeries a day, irregular eating and resting, for him, has long been the norm.

Xiao Cong is a young and promising post-85 "learning bully", is to diligently seek excellence, to think about the development of the department leader, under his leadership, the orthopedic team of the city's third hospital bravely climbed the peak, completed one after another difficult surgery, so that orthopedic surgery from a hundred days of bone injury to walking on the ground after surgery minimally invasive + rapid rehabilitation.

Also a total hip replacement, in 2019, his joint replacement surgery took only 1 hour to let the patient walk on the ground, which not only achieved a real sense of minimal trauma, but also a faster postoperative recovery and a significant reduction in dislocation rate.

Pelvic fracture mortality is as high as 40%, the risk of surgery is high, bleeding is frequent, and complications are serious. What to do? This year, Xiao Cong led the team to carry out the minimally invasive channel screw technology for pelvic fractures, which does not require blood transfusion during surgery, the operation time is short, the incision is small, there are only a few small wounds of 5mm, and the implanted material is also small. Another big benefit is that it saves the patient's medical expenses and greatly reduces the patient's financial burden.

"The difference is a millimeter, and the fallacy is a thousand miles." For the New Year's wish, Xiao Cong said that minimally invasive and precise is the development trend of orthopedic surgery. "Moving the knife between millimeters, making the wound a little smaller, and allowing the patient to recover a little faster has always been my pursuit."

"A good doctor is one that makes patients suffer less, spend less money, and recover early." With such a belief, the doctor Xiao Cong worked diligently and constantly moved forward on the road of pursuing his dreams.
