      Introduction

      Traditional Chinese bone-setting is a conventional Chinese medical practice primarily used for treating fractures, dislocations, muscle and ligament injuries. This method combines the holistic concepts of traditional Chinese medicine with unique therapeutic techniques, which mainly include:

      Manual Reduction: This technique involves manually adjusting dislocated or fractured parts to their correct anatomical positions. This method requires the practitioner to have profound knowledge in anatomy and traditional Chinese medicine theory, as well as extensive clinical experience.

      Application or Ingestion of Chinese Herbal Medicine: Chinese herbal medicines are used to promote wound healing, reduce inflammation and pain, and stimulate blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis. Topically applied medicines usually consist of herbal mixtures applied directly to the injured area, while oral medicines are ingested to achieve a systemic treatment effect.

      Tui Na and Massage: This involves specific massage techniques aimed at improving local blood circulation, facilitating the recovery of muscles and ligaments, and reducing pain and stiffness.

      Acupuncture: Acupuncture is used to regulate the balance of Qi (energy) and blood within the body, alleviate pain, and promote the self-healing of injured areas.

      Functional Exercise: During the recovery phase, specific functional exercises or physical therapy may be recommended to strengthen muscle power and increase the flexibility and stability of joints.

      The principle of treatment in traditional Chinese bone-setting is holistic regulation. It focuses not only on the local treatment of the wound but also considers the overall physical condition and constitution of the patient. It is important to emphasize that traditional Chinese bone-setting should be performed by experienced professionals, especially in the case of complex fractures and dislocations, where careful handling is essential. In some instances, it is also necessary to integrate modern medical techniques, such as X-ray examinations, to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.

      In this book, I am going to talk about the Key Principles of Bone-Setting in  in the context of traditional Chinese medicine. These are the core principles or essential techniques in traditional bone-setting or orthopedic practices in ancient China.

      My discussion is mainly based on the clinical practice by Dr. Wu Qian, imperial physician in the Imperial Court of the Qing Dynasty and my translation of his Zheng Gu Xin Fa or Essentials Of Orthopedic Techniques.

      General Discussion of Traditional Bone-setting or Manual Therapy in TCM

      THE TERM MANUAL TECHNIQUE of manual therapy refers to the use of both hands to adjust the injured muscles and bones, restoring them to their original state. However, injuries vary in severity, and different hand techniques are appropriate for different cases.

      The speed of recovery, as well as whether any physiological disabilities remain, largely depends on the appropriateness of the hand technique applied, whether it misses the mark, or whether it is not fully executed.

      Since the skeletal structure of the body is not uniform, and the arrangement and connections of the twelve meridian sinews are all different, it is essential to have a fundamental understanding of the body's structure and recognize the specific parts involved.

      In practice, when responding to a case, the skill emerges from within, the hands follow the heart, and the technique flows from the hands.

      Whether it involves pulling to separate and then realign, pushing to adjust and reposition, straightening what is crooked, or completing what is missing, in cases of bone fractures—whether complete, fragmented, or slanted—and in cases of tendons being lax, taut, curled, cramped, flipped, twisted, separated, or joined, even though these lie within the flesh, they can be fully understood by hand palpation.

      The application of technique, making the patient unaware of any pain, is what truly defines manual skill.

      Moreover, since many injuries involve
