"Alright! Reopen the femoral tunnel!" Professor Ye puts down the screwdriver, flexing his wrist.
"Still double-strand?" Director Guan asked.
Continuing with the double-strand would be very difficult, three problems lay in front of them.
One issue was that the four screws occupied the space within the distal femoral condyle tissue, they would likely obstruct the opening of the tunnel.
Another issue was that all three bone fragments had been repositioned, but there were several fracture lines, opening the tunnel to these lines wasn't ideal.
A third issue was that the hanging metal plate required a particular cortical thickness to support it, and suitable areas for this were now scarce.
"Of course--" Professor Ye confirmed without hesitation.
If they changed to single-strand reconstruction, the surgery results would be compromised. This was a professional athlete. They were seeking high-quality surgery from him, he could not give in on the quality of the operation.
