Features: This manuscript has undergone repeated revisions during extensive clinical practice, with two final drafts completed over a period of twelve years, and is finally presented to everyone. It embodies the dedication of many senior experts and the care and support from leaders and colleagues at the Ministry of Health, the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, provincial, and municipal departments. Special thanks are extended to Professor Shang Tianyu, Professor Li Zumo, Dr. Dong Fuhui, Director Jin Yang, and many other experts for their guidance and assistance in the development of this new academic field of needle knife therapy. Here, we once again express our deepest gratitude. This book highlights the greatness of traditional Chinese medicine as a treasure trove. In recent years, many inspiring achievements have been made in the modern scientific approach to organizing and excavating this valuable cultural heritage. Under the guidance of dialectical materialism, Dr. Zhu Hanzhang of Jiangsu Jinling Orthopedic Hospital has explored for over a decade, achieving significant clinical efficacy in treating orthopedic diseases with the needle knife method. Extensive clinical practice has demonstrated that this approach combines the strengths of both traditional Chinese acupuncture therapy and Western surgical therapy, organically integrating the two methods to deliver unique therapeutic effects on chronic soft tissue injuries and residual tissue adhesions after certain bone and joint injuries. The method is simple, safe, easy to master, and convenient for widespread promotion. It can also reduce medical costs and minimize patient suffering.
