Recently, Professor Li Haohuan, Director of Sports Medicine and Joint Injury Department of Wuhan University People's Hospital, led the team of Deputy Chief Physician Peng Fei to perform shoulder arthroscopic surgery for a colleague.

  Dr. Peng Fei told a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily that it was not until the day before the operation that he learned with the nurse's reminder that the woman who underwent the operation was riding from her hometown in Gongan County, Hubei for 4 days when the new crown epidemic broke out in Wuhan two years ago. At night, the female doctor who rushed back to Wuhan to fight the epidemic was Gan Ruyi.

  Peng Fei said that after receiving the consultation, he learned that Gan Ruyi's condition had been delayed for nearly three years. If there is no medical intervention, the mobility of the left shoulder joint may not improve for life, and there is a possibility of further aggravation.

The expert team agreed that surgery was the best way to improve the condition.

At present, Gan Ruyi has been successfully discharged from the hospital after the operation.

  Peng Fei said that as early as 2020, he heard about Gan Ruyi riding a bicycle retrograde and returning to Wuhan to support the fight against the epidemic.

"I was in Wuhan for Chinese New Year at the time, and I also returned to the hospital to support the anti-epidemic work, but I felt very admirable when I thought of a young girl riding a bicycle from Jingzhou back to Wuhan overnight to fight the epidemic together."

  A reporter from Beiqing Daily learned that on January 31, 2020, Wuhan was affected by the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. While the number of hospital patients surged, traffic was at a standstill, resulting in a shortage of personnel in medical institutions.

Gan Ruyi, a post-95s doctor who was in her hometown of Jingzhou, Hubei for Chinese New Year, learned about the situation. She rode a bicycle for 4 days and 3 nights, traveling more than 300 kilometers, and rushed back to work in the Fanhu branch of Wuhan Jiangxia Jinkou Health Center.

In September of the same year, Gan Ruyi was awarded the honorary title of National Advanced Individual in Fighting against the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic.

  After participating in the anti-epidemic that year, the overworked Gan Ruyi began to feel pain in his left shoulder. As time went on, the range of motion of his shoulder joint became smaller and smaller, which seriously affected his daily work and life. Therefore, on September 23 this year, He came to Peng Fei's outpatient clinic to seek help.

Peng Fei said that during the diagnosis and treatment, he found that Gan Ruyi's shoulder joint could only be raised horizontally, but could not be raised up, the left hand could not touch the scapula backwards, and routine movements such as grooming were severely restricted.

  According to reports, because Gan Ruyi's condition has been delayed for nearly three years, if there is no medical intervention, the mobility of the left shoulder joint may not improve for life, and there is a possibility of further aggravation.

The expert team agreed that surgery was the best way to improve the condition.

  At the beginning of October, Peng Fei arranged for Gan Ruyi to be hospitalized for surgery.

"On the day before the operation, a nurse said to me, let me search the Internet for the name 'Gan Ruyi', and I found out that the object of the operation the next day was the retrograde anti-epidemic hero of that year. I remember the story, but I didn't put the name on it."

  "This is a minimally invasive surgery, and an arthroscope is used to release her adhering shoulder joint. Although the scars after surgery are generally small, we have specially designed a pre-surgery considering women's beauty-loving personality. A set plan, leaving the smallest scars." Peng Fei said that after learning that Gan Ruyi was the anti-epidemic hero of the year, he felt that this operation was also a tribute to the hero.

  The operation on that day only took 30 minutes. Peng Fei said that after observation after the operation, Gan Ruyi's shoulder joint activities basically recovered to the same level as ordinary people.

"Gan Ruyi is actually very low-key. We went to the ward to see her condition after the operation, and we talked about the past, and the patients in the same ward knew that this was the 'retrograde hero' of the year. Everyone admired her very much, but Gan Ruyi seemed to be very shy."

  Peng Fei said that Gan Ruyi has been successfully discharged from the hospital.

"Being able to solve her long-term shoulder pain is something we are proud of." (Source: Beijing Youth Daily)
