From genu varum (O-shaped legs) to straight both lower limbs

"The pain of illness is far greater than any treatment," said Chu Chu, a 22-year-old young man,

During treatment, although there may be pain and discomfort

It is gratifying to see the expectation of "better improvement";

However, falling ill is an endless collapse with no hope of recovery;

Psychological despair is even more bitter than physical abnormalities..."

Rickets leads to genu varum of both lower limbs

Before treatment: limping when walking, bowlegs

Ideal recovery: Flexible walking with straight legs

In the consulting room of orthopedic specialist, Vice President Xie Shuqiang

Chu Chu, with her pants rolled up, is conducting a review

- Both lower limbs were straight and he walked freely

The whole person's state is also sunny and youthful

Although the scars left from the correction surgery can still be seen on the leg

Chu Chu said, "This is a 'medal' for 'counterattack'.",

"The longer it lasts, the weaker it becomes..."

"Psychological despair is even more bitter than physical abnormalities..."

Through Chuchu's narration, we learn that:

When he was just over 3 years old, his family noticed abnormalities in his legs

At that time, I went to the local hospital for treatment

Due to the young age, there is no better improvement method

We can only continue to observe

With Chuchu's growth and development

The symptoms are getting more and more severe

He also developed a limp when walking,

Pain in knee and ankle joints after long walks, etc

During this period, no further relevant treatment was administered

The condition of both lower limbs when he arrived at Renji at the age of 22

Afterwards, Chu Chu also left her hometown for a bigger city to pursue her dreams

With the broadening of horizons and the increase of experience

I have learned that: current medical technology

He/She can already correct his/her own legs very well

Furthermore, the pain level has continued to worsen since starting work

I decided to seek treatment

At this point, Chuchu has already turned 22 years old

Two surgeries and over seven months were needed to achieve straight legs

Search through the internet, WeChat, etc

Found Zhengzhou Renji Hospital

And associate with the orthopedic specialist, Vice President Xie Shuqiang, and his assistant

We have established contact and conducted a comprehensive consultation

After preliminary understanding online

Chu Chu also came to the hospital for an on-site inspection

Bowlegs in both lower limbs

Long-term misalignment of leg force line

Over time, pain began to appear in the knee and ankle joints

After the consultation with Dean Xie, Chuchu realized:

My condition is genu varum (O-shaped leg),

It is caused by rickets, and the pain has worsened

It is due to the long-term misalignment of the force lines in both lower limbs

Coupled with the occupational characteristics, there is excessive use of joints

Symptoms such as pain in the knee and ankle joints emerged

The orthopedic inpatient ward located on the 20th floor

Subsequently, they also visited the inpatient ward located on the 20th floor

I saw many people who were receiving treatment

Patients with similar conditions to my own

Especially, I saw the recovery effects of my fellow patients who underwent follow-up examinations

-- Keep legs straight and walk freely

Chu Chu said, "The desire to correct one's heart has reached its peak..."

I made an appointment with Dean Xie for the hospitalization date on the same day

Arrange the work, call your parents to accompany you

At the appointed time, Chuchu completed the hospitalization procedures

When Dean Xie and his team formulated a correction plan for him

Considering the life during the recovery period, it will be carried out in two phases

Phase I, correct the left side; Phase II, correct the right side

Dean Xie said, "Chu Chu's genu varum is relatively severe. The surgery is divided into two parts: one part is to correct the femur, which is the thigh. It can be corrected in place at one time, using internal fixation;

For the correction of the tibia and fibula, also known as the lower leg, a portion of the treatment involves wearing an orthotic brace. The remaining deformities are corrected by adjusting the orthotic brace, which can minimize the impact on daily life during the recovery period.

Correction for genu varum

After osteotomy during the operation, the adjustment of the angle is very important

It is directly related to the appearance of the legs after recovery

Therefore, Dean Xie and his team utilized full-length radiographs of both lower limbs

"Simulation adjustment" was conducted

Found the most suitable "degree"

Two surgeries were successfully completed

The first phase of corrective surgery went smoothly

After surgery, continue to adjust the orthopedic brace

The expected correction goal was achieved quickly

Remove the external fixation orthopedic frame and wear a brace to consolidate the effect

Over 7 months have passed since the first phase of surgery

Successfully completed the second phase of orthopedic surgery

The recovery is as smooth and rapid as the first phase

Chu Chu said, "Although the treatment process was tough, the thought of how I would look after recovery filled me with strength and uncontrollable joy. What I'm most looking forward to is the moment when the braces are removed";

"After the orthopedic brace was removed from my right leg as well, I looked at my straight legs and tears of excitement welled up in my eyes. My long-cherished wish had finally come true, and I was so happy that I even took a few extra walks back and forth.".

Afterwards, Dean Xie instructed Chuchu and her family:

The 'pin prick' of the fixed orthopedic brace will become lighter as it grows longer,

You need to wear the brace for a while longer,

We should continue to exercise

Only in this way can we achieve better recovery

After ideal recovery

Both lower limbs are straight in appearance and can walk freely

When we saw Chuchu in Dean Xie's consulting room

It's about the scene of coming back to the hospital for a follow-up examination

Both lower limbs are straight and can walk freely

After the legs straightened from being bowlegged

He has also grown a little taller

When communicating with medical staff, I have become more confident and optimistic

The whole person is full of vitality and high-spirited

Two surgeries, lasting one year

Achieve ideal recovery

Every time I see a similar scene

The medical staff in orthopedics

One cannot help but sigh:

"Health is the best medical beauty..."

Has been plagued by genu varum (bowleg) for 19 years

From deciding on treatment to coming to Renji Hospital out of admiration

After two surgeries and less than a year, both legs are straight

To achieve the desired recovery, Chu Chu said, "It's worth it!

Because I made the decision to undergo treatment and acted on it,

"I am able to achieve my ideal recovery; I am very grateful for choosing Renji..."

After achieving ideal recovery of both lower limbs

The whole person exudes confidence, optimism, and a more upright posture

If you are being troubled by limb abnormalities

Why not give Renji Orthopedic Hospital a try

Between you and the ideal recovery

Only one "treatment" action is missing
