Case 2
Patient Ms. Tang, 40 years old, was hospitalized for 4 hours due to right shoulder joint pain and mobility impairment caused by trauma. The diagnosis was "right scapular glenoid fracture (osseous Bankart injury)" after examination. After consultation and discussion, the Orthopedics Team of Shimen County People's Hospital performed "shoulder arthroscopy for closed reduction and internal fixation of glenoid fractures" under general anesthesia. One week after the operation, the patient's right shoulder joint pain was significantly relieved, and the functional activity of the shoulder joint was significantly improved. Now he is undergoing further rehabilitation treatment.
Shimen County People's Hospital Deputy Chief Physician He Yongli, leader of the joint and sports medicine professional group of the Department of Orthopedics, said that due to the complex anatomical structure of the shoulder joint, traditional open surgery is not only invasive and difficult to expose, but also has high complications.
And Shoulder arthroscopic surgery is a very practical minimally invasive technique. It has the advantages of small trauma, less bleeding, low infection rate, fast recovery, and beautiful appearance. Generally, only 3-4 long appointments are needed around the shoulder joint. A small hole of 5mm can solve most diseases in the shoulder joint. At present, it is widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of rotator cuff injuries, glenoid fractures, labral tears, subacromial impingement syndrome, habitual shoulder dislocation, loose bodies in the shoulder joint and other diseases.
Compared with traditional open surgery, it is a highly difficult, complex and innovative surgical method. It requires doctors with rich experience in arthroscopic surgery to master the cutting-edge technology. In the past, only some large tertiary hospitals can be carried out.
The Orthopedics Department of Shimen County People's Hospital has taken the lead in carrying out knee arthroscopy technology in county-level hospitals in northwestern Hunan in 2012. It has relieved the pain of nearly a thousand patients with knee joint diseases and accumulated rich experience.
The introduction of minimally invasive shoulder arthroscopy technology in our hospital marks that the Department of Orthopedics of Shimen County People's Hospital has made new progress in the joint and sports medicine sub-specialties, and that medical technology has reached a new level. At the same time, it has also provided Shimen County and other It provides high-quality and convenient medical services to the surrounding patients with shoulder joint diseases and reduces the financial burden. Welcome all patients with shoulder pain to come to our hospital for consultation and treatment in the Department of Orthopedics.
