Features: Clinical Orthopedics of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine is a clinical science that studies systemic sports-related injuries. Its content is very extensive and rich. After decades of rapid development, it has achieved remarkable results worldwide. To summarize the rich clinical experience and research achievements in clinical practice and teaching of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Western Medicine (WM), and integrated Chinese and Western Medicine (ICWM) orthopedics, and to reflect the new theories and new advancements in clinical orthopedics, we organized over ten TCM, WM, and ICWM orthopedic experts and professors from Shaanxi. By reviewing a large amount of literature and incorporating the clinical essence of contemporary and previous orthopedic professionals, we compiled this highly practical orthopedics textbook. This book comprehensively elaborates on the history, basic theories, and technical operations of clinical orthopedics from the introduction, general principles, emergency care, fractures, dislocations, soft tissue diseases, bone diseases to common orthopedic surgical approaches. It is accompanied by 692 illustrations, making it clear and easy for readers to understand. At the end of the book, there is an index of TCM prescriptions for clinical reference, reflecting the book's emphasis on both theory and practice.
