Orthopedic surgeon: Zhou Qi decided to do lumbar surgery at Jishuitan Hospital His career will definitely be shortened
News on September 9, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Manila, center Zhou Qi's back injury recurred, and since then, Zhou Qi's injury has also attracted widespread attention, especially Guangdong Hongyuan, who has just introduced him. According to Wang Boyao, deputy chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Zhou Qi has decided to operate and undergo treatment in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital.
In the World Cup qualifying match with the Philippines on September 2, Zhou Qi suffered a recurrence of a back injury in the first half and was finally forced to leave the game.
Previously, Beijing Youth Daily reported that Zhou Qi returned to China to undergo relevant injury examinations, and the preliminary diagnosis was that the L5 S1 intervertebral disc protruded to the left rear, and if it was serious, it would cause pain or even numbness in the left calf or lower limb.
And Zhu Fangyu, general manager of Guangdong Hongyuan, replied to netizens in the live broadcast, "Will Zhou Qi be reimbursed this season?" This is a bit of an exaggeration, bro! That's a bit of an exaggeration! He was an acute muscle strain. He didn't have an accurate diagnosis, let's not guess, I won't say nonsense. ”
Although Zhu Zongyun is light and breezy, according to Wang Boyao, deputy chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, revealed on social media, Zhou Qi has prepared for surgery in Jishuitan Hospital, "Zhou Qi, a basketball player who entered the NBA in China, decided to operate!" Because of his repeated low back pain, his low back pain has undergone many treatments, including treatment and rehabilitation in the United States, but such conservative treatment is ineffective. Your disc herniated to such an extent that all your treatments may be useless. At this time, this protrusion needs to be removed. I believe that Zhou Qi has also undergone many expert consultations, including his current preparation for surgery at Jishuitan Hospital, which is one of the best orthopedic departments in China. ”
He was advised to perform a minimally invasive intervertebral foramen technique, which was very minimal. If you have something protruding that presses the nerve, just remove this protruding one, and deal with nothing else. A very minimally invasive operation solved him. The surgery is small, it has its complications, you remove the protrusion, the hole is still over there, there may be a chance of recurrence again. In addition, the intervertebral disc stabilizes your spine, and the first time your disc protrudes, the volume of the intervertebral disc is reduced, and various reasons may lead to lumbar spine instability. Therefore, Zhou Qi's career will definitely be shortened, and it will no longer be as powerful as before. Because he can no longer fight desperately, just after surgery, hit desperately, protrude again, or whatever, it's not good. ”
"So such a well-known athlete is also a microcosm of us, who has consulted in all aspects and finally decided to have this surgery." First, the operation is safe, and second, it must be done. I tell a lot of people that the old view is that the spine can't be opened because it will damage the spinal cord and will be paralyzed. In fact, responsibly speaking, if we open a lumbar spine, we seem to have basically no possibility of paralysis, because the surgical technology has reached a very high level. Compared to 20 years ago, it is already a very mature technology. Therefore, with many people who suffer from low back pain and leg pain, if conservative treatment is really not good, you can still consider surgical treatment. ”
