Larwu is a native of Jiaju No. 1 Village, Jiaju Town, Danba County. He is 73 years old this year. When I was young, due to the heavy burden of family life and living high in the mountains, I had to do a lot of hard physical work every day, which caused the root of the disease in my body. About a few years ago, Larwu felt some pain in his right knee joint from time to time, especially when he squatted, climbed or walked for a long time. After seeking medical treatment from various sources, he was diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, but no effective treatment was given due to various reasons.
Gradually, Larwu's joint pain became increasingly severe. Not to mention working, even normal walking was in excruciating pain, which seriously affected his daily life. During this period, some experts suggested a right knee joint replacement surgery, but there was no other good solution. For Larwu, who neither has the conditions to go to a large hospital for surgery nor can afford expensive medical expenses, joint replacement is nothing more than a luxurious "knee" treatment.
The so-called joint replacement, simply put, is to remove the worn and damaged joint surface and implant artificial joint . It can not only effectively relieve the patient's joint pain, but also restore the normal function of the diseased joint and improve the quality of life. Artificial joint replacement surgery is the most effective surgical method for the end-stage of joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, femoral head necrosis, hip fracture and other joint diseases.
In recent years, in order to relieve the pain of the disease at home as much as possible for patients with bone and joint diseases, avoid the trouble of traveling outside, and minimize the cost of medical treatment, Danba County People's Hospital invited the Chengdu Second People's Hospital expert team to introduce With advanced equipment and enhanced technical training, 18 total knee replacement surgeries have been successfully performed so far. At the same time, with the implementation of the national centralized procurement policy for artificial joints, the average price of the selected artificial knee joints has dropped from 35,000 yuan to about 6,000 yuan, which has also greatly reduced the financial burden on patients and freed them from worrying about high costs.
's "knee" wish finally came true! Larwu no longer has to worry or worry this time. He came to the hospital happily to prepare for the operation. After admission, the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department team carefully discussed, formulated a detailed surgical plan, and performed right knee joint replacement surgery for Larwu.
The surgery was very successful. On the second day after the operation, Larwu was able to walk. Two weeks after the operation, Larwu recovered well and was discharged from the hospital smoothly.
"The Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Danba County People's Hospital is really good! The surgery was really good. My knee no longer hurts and I can straighten it. Moreover, the country's policies for our Tibet-related areas are also very good, and reimbursement is provided I got a lot of money," Laerwu said happily when he was discharged from the hospital.
