What are the basic conditions, manipulative treatments and nursing care of fracture as interpreted by Chinese medicine practitioners?

Fracture is a pathological condition which is caused by different reasons (e.g. blow, punch, fall, etc.) from external forces. If the external violence or blow exceeds the amount of load that the bone in a certain area can withstand from the direction of the transverse force, it will cause damage to some parts of the bone in this area, i.e., traumatic fracture. When the same violence or blow is applied to the same bone in a different muscle, a fracture does not necessarily occur because of the difference in the direction of the transverse force. Fractures do not necessarily occur. After fracture, it will affect the normal physiological function of the human body, adding obstacles to the operation of the human body and the inconvenience of life. This is especially true for the elderly and physically weak patients. Not only that, but for some elderly people, frail patients, and those who are old and frail with other illnesses, there is also the problem of slow healing after a fracture. Encountering these situations requires the patient and the doctor to cooperate with each other, the doctor carefully treatment, the patient to pay attention to increase nutrition, to be appropriate and appropriate amount of staged medication. As long as the nutrition and medication are properly regulated, it will promote the healing of the fracture and shorten the healing time of the fracture.

There are also patients who do not heal after a long time after a fracture, the reason is that after the fracture is not well aligned and fixed, resulting in a long period of time of the fracture of the wrong movement; the second for the fracture is not connected to the fracture can not be generated through the fracture end of the bone idiots to make the fracture bone connected to a bone. If the fracture caused by these two reasons does not heal for a long time, it will also form ossified hyperplasia at the broken end of the bone, forming a false joint. In addition, if there is muscle and soft tissue embedded in the fracture or other causes of the fracture, it can also affect the healing of the fracture. If any of the above occurs, the broken ends of the fracture should be rejoined to regenerate the bone and medication should be used to promote growth. The problem of non-healing can be resolved by causing the broken ends of the bone to form a bone dementia. Traumatic fracture, a pathological condition, requires a thorough and detailed history of the patient to understand the injury. In the examination and treatment, patients should be categorized into "three stages" and "four conditions". The three stages are: bone development, bone maturity, and bone degeneration. The four conditions are: old, middle-aged, young and young. In addition, you should know the fracture and look at the whole.
