Fein turned to the crowd that had gathered around him, eager to learn more about the limb salvage surgery he had just performed.
"Well, you see, a limb salvage surgery is typically done to save a limb that might otherwise be amputated due to injury or disease," Fein began, his voice carrying through the room. "In this case, the worker had suffered a compound fracture, which means the bone had broken through the skin. It's a very serious injury that requires immediate attention."
The onlookers listened intently as Fein continued to explain his diagnosis and the solution he had come up with.
"I decided to perform a procedure called an external fixator, which involves attaching metal pins and wires to the bone and surrounding tissue to hold everything in place while it heals," Fein said, gesturing to the device that was now attached to the worker's leg. "It's a relatively simple procedure, but it requires a lot of skill and precision to do it properly."
