This disease is medically called scoliosis ( spinal deformity)
①
History:
From incurable to medically available
Scoliosis is one of the oldest diseases in human history, dating back to 3500 BC . A 2nd-century A.D. Masaig painting in the Antakya Museum, Turkey, shows a naked man holding a barbecue skewer, with a raised back and a small stature, suggesting possible scoliosis. It can also be inferred from the graph that people with such unfortunate encounters are often ridiculed, despised or hated by others.
The picture shows: The Marseille painting in the Museum of Antakya, Turkey.
Quasimodo, the bell ringer of Notre Dame de Paris, has an ugly appearance, his thighs and calves are twisted and crooked, and his shoulders are shrugged. A huge hunchback... Quasimodo was abandoned by his parents when he was a baby because he was born with side bends, and happened to be thrown in front of Notre Dame de Paris. According to Hugo 's specific description of his adult appearance, It can be inferred that this " Hunchback " should suffer from spinal scoliosis, and is so severe that the spine is extremely twisted and the thorax is rotated causing the back to bulge.

This is an early photograph of scoliosis, taken in 1914, you can see the whole person is bent.
The picture below shows a woman from the 14th to 15th centuries.
She has severe scoliosis. It can be seen from her posture that her internal organs have been squeezed for a long time, and the further back they are, the more they cannot work normally, including all kinds of blood vessels and nervous system for a long time. The elongation became so fragile that she died at the age of 35.
In the early days, scoliosis was thought to be God's punishment, and very few people understood and treated it.
But the exploration of human understanding and treatment of scoliosis has never stopped. In the 5th century BC, Hippocrates, an ancient Greek doctor who was honored as the "father of medicine" by the West, developed medicine into a science, separating it from witchcraft and religion.
In his medical book, scoliosis was first described. He believes that scoliosis is caused by poor posture, and that the curvature usually increases as the bone grows. Therefore, it is recommended to perform longitudinal traction on a special device, or to assist local compression force for treatment.

839, French doctor Jules Green began to use brace fixation to treat scoliosis, in 1955 American doctor Paul Harrington developed and designed the landmark Orthopedic fixation system, known as "first generation spinal internal fixation system". Nowadays, posterior pedicle screw fixation and orthopedic treatment of scoliosis has become a standard procedure and has been widely used.
The spine is densely covered with various nervous systems and there are many dangerous organs. Such a huge project has always been called "the taboo area of surgery ". Therefore, this disease is also called "plastic surgery cancer " and "cancer that is not cancer".
Although this disease has existed for so long, there are very few people who can save them...
"No one does it, I do it!"
This voice comes from Chengdu Third People's Hospital Orthopedics, he is the director of Liang Yijian . This name should not be unfamiliar. He is the "Top Ten People Who Moved China", "Healthy Sichuan", "Great American Doctor", "National Advanced Worker of Health and Family Planning", and he is the "National Health and Family Planning Worker" in the mouth of patients. Father Liang".
The patients treated by Director Liang have covered all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in the country, and the age span ranges from 2 to 80 years old.
has treated thousands of cases , including all types of spine deformity , reaching the international advanced level, and breaking through the internationally recognized three major forbidden areas for extremely severe spinal deformity surgery: extremely severe spinal deformity that cannot be corrected, extremely severe spinal deformity Spinal deformity combined with spinal cord deformity cannot be corrected, and extremely severe spinal deformity combined with extremely severe respiratory dysfunction cannot be corrected.

A rare case in the world
The rise is the hope of rebirth
The whole is in a folded state, and the body is bent at a degree of 153°. The rare case in the world ! His name is Liu Renfu, and he is from the Daliangshan Mountains. He cannot imagine how he has lived in his 25-year career.
He sought medical treatment everywhere, and encountered obstacles everywhere. There was nothing he could do. Such a severe case brought serious problems to his survival.We really can't imagine how Liu Renfu's life lived. We normal people will spit out when we bend over to this extent and eat?
"The gastric mucosa is completely damaged!"
"It may last for up to two years!" He was sentenced to death...
After several twists and turns, he found Professor Liang. The complicated operation was unimaginable. The first operation was to correct a part of the hunchback, so that the nerves and blood vessels gradually adapted to lengthen and improved the long-term oppressed digestive tract. Function.
The second operation, which took 7 hours, was to remove all of Liu Renfu's second lumbar vertebrae. "Removing the lumbar vertebrae shortens the spinal cord and prevents nerves and blood vessels from being stretched so long that the blood vessels will not be pulled off." In addition, his thoracic 10 vertebral body was partially removed, and the curvature of the hunchback was reduced by more than 20 degrees, which enabled him to straighten his back.
This is what it looked like after surgery, I was shocked!
Compared with him before the operation, the original height of 1.1 meters is a rebirth!

The treatment is extremely difficult. Since 2007, he has traveled to well-known hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, and the answer he got was "the surgery is too dangerous to do." Later, he saw some cases of Director Liang on the Internet, "One is very similar to mine."
In October 2012, after a lot of troubles, Xiao Qiang found Director Liang at Chengdu . Director Liang admitted that there are two major surgical difficulties for extremely severe spinal deformities like him: One is to amputate the vertebrae, but the spinal cord cannot be touched. Second, patients often have poor cardiopulmonary function, making it difficult to support surgery. "Surgery can be done, but the risks are high. "
Before the operation
Before the operation
After making sure to ask Director Liang to perform the operation for himself, Xiao Qiang went back to Nanjing to go through the medical insurance procedures. He hesitated on the way, and took the preoperative and postoperative comparison pictures of the group of cases similar to his own. A Shanghai expert.
This expert saw and said: "Impossible. This film must be computer synthesized, no one can do this difficult operation. "But I have no way out. If I don't do it, I will only wait to die. There is still hope for survival after surgery. "Xiao Qiang decided to give it a go and returned to Chengdu the following month.
Liang Yijian first used the "head-pelvic ring" developed by himself to give Xiao Qiang a month of early traction, which significantly improved his kyphosis and lung function. Rapid recovery. After several surgeries, Xiao Qiang recovered and was discharged from the hospital one year later. The patient's life. 130°, 150°, 180°... Case after case of extremely difficult spinal deformity patients were cured. His superb medical skills saved the patient's pain and gave the patient a new lease of life.
According to Chinese Children and Teens According to the "Spine Screening Survey of Adolescents and Children" released by the foundation , the international incidence of scoliosis is about 3%-5%.That is, 3-5 out of 100 children have an underlying scoliosis problem.
2 to 15 years old adolescents with scoliosis accounted for about 85%, and after the age of 18, it was greatly reduced. In scoliosis patients, congenital spinal dysplasia or disease is caused, accounting for about 10 to 15%. And more than 85% is caused by too many bad habits.
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is an intractable disease that is very difficult to treat.
High hair during adolescence: girls are in the first half year of their period and one year after their period, and boys are in the voice changing period . These two periods are the rapid peak period of the child's growth, and it is easy to form scoliosis.
Liang Yijian's team"Bone Health Science Popularization Studio" officially settled in "Diagnostic Road Famous Doctor Studio", a department with 7 study groups, focusing on spinal deformity, limb deformity, joint disease , sports medicine, etc.
