What is bone setting?

Bone setting, in traditional Chinese medicine, refers to the use of pushing, pulling, pressing, and other techniques to treat fractures, dislocations and other diseases. Bone setting is the name of a specialty that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of injuries. It is also one of the "Thirteen Departments" of ancient medicine. It is also called traumatology or orthopedics.

The objects of bone setting are mainly injuries of bones, joints and soft tissues caused by external forces, but it also includes injuries of internal organs caused by similar reasons. The word "正" here serves as a gerund. It is a scientific technology that restores limb deformation caused by bone and joint injuries.

The official medical system of the Yuan Dynasty included a department of "orthopedics and gold arrowhead surgery". Therefore, Wei Yilin, a medical scientist who specialized in bone setting in the Yuan Dynasty, set up a section called "Bone Setting and Metal Blade Treatment" in Volume 18 of his "Effective Prescriptions of the World's Doctors" to specifically discuss the pulse causes, symptoms and treatments of bone and joint injuries and diseases caused by metal blades. The Golden Mirror of the Medical Tradition states that “today’s orthopedics is based on the diagnosis of injuries caused by falls in ancient times.”

Classification

Bone setting is mainly divided into fractures and dislocations. Fracture refers to a disease in which bones are partially or completely broken due to trauma or pathology.

Its main clinical manifestations are: localized pain and tenderness at the fracture site, local swelling and ecchymosis, partial or complete loss of limb function, and complete bone deformity and abnormal movement. Dislocation is when bones in contact with each other (usually joints) are dislocated from their original position due to external force and can no longer function normally. Dislocations may also be congenital or occur as a complication of rheumatoid arthritis. People who have injured their joints are more likely to dislocate.
