Features: Orthopedics has a long history and is an important part of Chinese medicine. The continuous development and enduring vitality of orthopedic techniques stem from their deep roots in the fertile ground of Chinese medicine, as well as their absorption of the essence of modern medicine for further enrichment and advancement, leading to the emergence of new orthopedics. This manual introduces common diagnostic and treatment techniques in orthopedics, with a focus on the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of bone and joint injuries, as well as bone and joint diseases, congenital and acquired bone and joint deformities, bone tumors, and other conditions. It also covers common acupuncture and massage techniques and routine nursing care in orthopedics. The book consists of 22 chapters: the first four chapters introduce common diagnostic and treatment techniques in orthopedics, the next seven chapters focus on bone and joint injuries, and the following nine chapters describe bone and joint diseases, deformities, and bone tumors. The final two chapters are dedicated to common acupuncture and massage techniques and routine nursing care in orthopedics.
