Parkes surgery is suitable for severe cases of Volkmann's ischemic contracture; the surgical difficulty is high and demands much from the surgeon.
If the contracture is treated within six months to a year, when muscle and nerve function begins to recover, the results will be optimal.
However, if it involves children, it might take more than a year before the procedure can be performed.
According to Wang Yushan, the child's condition is unclear, but judging from the healing effect, the injury must have happened over a year ago.
At this thought, everyone couldn't help feeling even more disheartened. How could the family have done nothing about an arm fracture for a year?
And Chen Cang thought about the person outside the operating room—the only one who seemed to care about the child might be that homeless person.
With that thought, he couldn't help but sigh.
If it hadn't been for the presence of this group of experts today, could the surgery even have been possible?
