"Door-type nail!" Song Zimo preserved the exposed shin tendon and fixed it on the front surface of the proximal tibia with a door-type nail.
As they chatted, the surgery was completed, Song Zimo withdrew the instruments, preparing to suture the skin.
"Use a number four thread?" Zhou Can asked.
Song Zimo said: "Use a number one thread! It's a girl, use a finer thread."
He took the needle holder with threaded needle, and began to suture the two small surgical incisions, as well as the incisions from the semitendinosus and gracilis muscle removal. Once he was done, he bandaged the wound, applied a splint, and Little Five took the patient back.
The cleaning lady came in to handle the surgical waste and clean up. Usually after cleaning, there would be a sterilization process which took about fifteen minutes before the next surgery could be done.
Zhou Can stayed behind to tidy up the instruments while the rest went to the operating room next door to rest.
