China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

         February 2, 2012" Chinese Medicine News" 5 edition published in Ningxia traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute chief physician Guo Zhonghua discusses the distal radius fractures" by Chinese and Western medicine prevention method", namely: fixed combination of static and dynamic, traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine external treatment, functional exercise on five measures of the. May 4, 2011" healthy newspaper" published" the traumatology of Chinese medicine should be all-round development" one article," I mentioned in outpatients seen in a distal radial fractures in the elderly patients, has been in a hospital of Chinese medicine Bone-setting Manipulation orthopedic cast immobilization for 1 weeks, radiographs showed that fracture angulation is not completely correct, fixed angle also poor ." " case, called" orthopedic physicians should advance despite difficulties, learn and master the fracture reduction and small splint fixation techniques ( or gypsum )". Think" in Colleges and universities of Chinese medicine to restore Chinese specialty " proposal should be caused take seriously. To this, the author talks about a bit view as follows.

        " Small splint" is not unique to Chinese Medicine

        Long-term since, some newspapers and magazines" splint" as" traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic" or "traditional osteosynthesis" features. As the" Guo distal radius fractures by traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine prevention method" five measures, first is fixed, the so-called "small splint fixation" for the characteristics of the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for the treatment of fractures of. The author thinks that this claim is debatable.

        Small splint splint derives from the Latin root. Small splint for the treatment of fractures, which in ancient Greece" Hippocratic Corpus" the" fracture theory"," surgery theory", "reduction theory" of the early in detail. Nineteen sixties China Chinese and Western combined treatment of fracture, also known as the " modern Chinese synthetism", put forward because less than dominant " the combination of static and dynamic fracture treatment" principle, summed up a set of small splint fixation for the features, combined with manual reduction, exercise, and medication of the new therapy with combination of TCM and Western medicine. In this regard, Professor Shang Tianyu in 1994 China Luoyang Chinese international training and academic seminar of" combination of Chinese traditional and Western medicine in treatment of fractures of new therapies" think:" European ancient medicine without combining with modern science, on fracture treatment and traditional Chinese method similar to."

        In fact, Chinese medicine orthopedic is not small splint fixation, Chinese medicine orthopedic operation is not is not. Broad and profound traditional Chinese orthopedics, need to study the unknown field is many.

        Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in orthopaedics has lost the essence of traditional Chinese Medicine

        Traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic classics such as Taoist immortal Lin" awarding wound Sonchus asper secret recipe" think : "where the bone broken ... ... He is, to constantly curved, so that live is not strong." And the use of" Chinese and Western medicine control method of" Guo" fixed time limit of claim ... ... In four Zhou Weiyi".

        As mentioned above," splint" and" fixed" and other words are all derived from western medicine. In fact, from orthopedic history, ancient Egyptian mummy fracture fixation splint made of bamboo, reed, wood or bark., and linen liner. Since ancient Greece, orthopedic small splint fixation in treatment of fractures has been in the application. Some traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic experts cedar or fir plate fixed to said quite God, since they belong to the external fixation, fracture healing will not violate II rules. As for the manual manipulation, already happened fracture hemorrhage, blood stasis, swelling of condensation or machine, even the "giant" probably too difficult to repair it, possibly may exacerbate tissue injury.

        The present Chinese medicine orthopedic authoritative works such as Guo Weihuai" Pingle bonesetting" one book, the core theories such as the healing of the fracture mechanism is also plagiarism WM II healing theory: its early" stasis swelling period", namely western reaction period ( including fracture hematoma inflammation and granulation tissue formation stage) to bruise blood clot as a baby, and the traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic in stasis stasis:" does not go bone can also." So the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine orthopaedics is to use blood clot formation in woven bone ( woven bone ), also with" blood stasis" medicine and blood stasis, apparently contradictory. Similarly, has been more than 300 years have seven generations of descendants of the" Roche bonesetting" or five generation descendants of" Ho bone science" is so.

        Can say, with combination of TCM and Western medicine WM in orthopedics department of the so-called "scientific" theory of traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic implant fixed rigidly to the " Westernization" and the loss of the essence of Chinese medicine, western medicine, western medicine is not as good as the formal become practitioners enjoy undeserved fame without actual effect, lost the market, also is belonged to inevitable. The author thinks, traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic really should pay attention to, but lost the essence of Chinese medicine" integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in orthopaedics" really should be abandoned. Otherwise, let" in Colleges and universities of Chinese medicine to restore Chinese School" might be very difficult.

        Traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic has a long history, rich experience

        According to historical records, China's Shang Dynasty namely fracture treatment records ( Zhang Wei:" the culture of medicine" ). " Zhou Tian officer." then kill full-time orthopaedic surgeon (" the medicine", namely, hurt, folded like, namely broken also ). And" at the end, check their medical for its food. Perfect for ... ... The ten lost four for the next", the medical level high.

        The importance of medical treatment

        " Records of the historian Wei Wuan Marquis biographies" predicate" ( irrigation ), a large body of more than 10 million, suitable medicine, so must die." " In Juyan Han Wudi" records beginning in 3 years ( 103 BC ) Shuzu orthopedic medical records. " Wu book":" the battle of Hefei, Ling Tong was the six or seven sore. A Zhuo 's medicine, so must die. Note: sore ancient record, sores, destroy it. Destroy destroy body makes the wound also." (see" Taiping Yulan" ). " History of the Northern Wei Ji" records:" RAM Zhaoyue: the state of seismic subsidence crack there are many casualties, dead can not be pursued, to cure illness. Can be sent the imperial doctor broken medicine, and to be drug therapy." (" two views of history of the north"," Qingshi Gao" ) according to the records, ten light years ( 1830)" intercalary April 22nd, Yuanshi Xinle Heze Caoxian office at the same time the earthquake, house collapse, people have pressed shoot";" do three auxiliary widely in northern round of more than 1000 years, the earthquake. It is especially, Zhili magnetic state, Henan Linzhang County office". Clear medical records:" dimension of magnetic, seismic, pressure die are very public, people of Dan, sent people to save thousands of Chi, not people, have not make the dead come back to life." " Although were wounded, dead already for several days, as long as the body is soft, the Dan orally, while with micro gas, and then once live." ( leaf Yongyuan" traumatology to Party" ). There are also stressed that " drugs". Visible in traumatology of Chinese medicine to the earthquake disaster relief is not attempt nothing and accomplish nothing. It is not taken seriously, still a problem of cognition.

        " Unique " very much

        Traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic, long history, famous men, "skills" are commonly used, can not be" splint" including the. Some method of osteosynthesis simple and obvious effect, such as when sound" martial arts" said:" the case that in a few hours the bones, the next day to action, a week is completely calm." The more disease mechanism of course different from the fixed speaker. And operation author emphasized" anatomic reduction, rigid fixation" of Haversian system of bone within the molded I healing theory is different.

        Not fixed also can cure fracture

        The article mentioned" distal radius fractures" treatment, the author uses traditional Chinese medicine plus exercise method of treatment, good effect. Give 1 examples to explain.
