He's getting one of these removed. It's probably not a very common procedure since they are generally meant to stay in for the rest of your life, so designing some specialized gadget is a lot more expensive than clamping it in a vise and hitting it with a hammer. And hitting it with a hammer is probably the best way to get it out without damaging the fleshy parts of the leg. A "gentler" method would have to immobilize the leg securely, at which point it becomes a tug of war between soft tissue and titanium.

Anything involving bone-work can be really physical work, and the tools are more Home-Depot than medical. We do hips and knees at the hospital I work at, and they all involve a decent selection of hammers, eletric saws, and cordless drills. The piece the guy is hammering on is the more "precise" tool, the only problem is sometimes they get stuck in the bone. After that there's little to be done other than forcing it out.

Anesthesia, as far as I understand it, turns off the "you" part of the brain, the part that integrates all the different brain things going on all the time. The pain control is secondary/supplementary for recovery. Please some doctor come in and correct me or better yet make a thread b/c this poo poo is fascinating. e

Orthopedic surgeons are the bro-iest of surgeons for many reasons, and hammers being one of their accepted surgical tools is one of them. e; picture still makes me cringe, though, don't get me wrong.

Wapole Languray posted:Bones are literally rock, doc's basically trying to rip nails out of concrete. Yep, and we even have more tools to remove screws/pins after they break off in your bones. As crazy as hip and knee surgery may seem, medical instrumentation companies have made the process almost routine. There are so many devices and guides and jigs and all that to guide the doctors hand, that almost anyone could learn to do the broad strokes of the surgery. Obviously there is a world of knowledge and info needed to pull off a successful complete surgery, but the manual for any particular companies hip or knee "system", how to use it and operate on the patient, is something like 50 pages, start to finish. If anyone is curious as how a knee surgery is performed, here's a link to the Surgical Technique Guide for Stryker Orthopaedics Triathlon Knee System.

A few years ago, I tried to register on the site as an atheist and got the "You are among the 20% of people we can't match" message without explanation (which I later learned). I went back and answered all the questions exactly the same except for the religious ones. I was accepted.

MrMidnight posted:How is it weird? Link to the source maybe? Sorry, didn't think to link the original. That gif is from the end of the commercial, where it's him just sitting there staring at the waitress like he's about to eat her for like 5 seconds. I think it was supposed to be a gag where she's so flabbergasted by the information he just gave her that she forgets to give him the check but it goes on so long (and the look on his face is so odd) that it's just kind of uncomfortable.
