Features: "Clinical Research on Bone and Joint Injuries" is a course that applies the theory and diagnostic methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to study bone and joint injuries. This textbook was jointly developed in response to the needs of TCM orthopedics graduate education, initiated and compiled by multiple TCM hospitals across the country and the National Association for TCM Higher Education Research. The book consists of fourteen chapters, with the General Part introducing the brief history of bone and joint injuries, their classification and etiology/pathogenesis, clinical diagnosis, and treatment methods. The Specific Part covers fractures and dislocations, encompassing the core content of TCM orthopedics for fractures and dislocations. The use of this textbook requires a combination of theory and practice, emphasizing both the systematic nature of TCM and the academic characteristics of orthopedics, while cultivating students' dialectical thinking methods, scientific research skills, and clinical practice abilities. Teaching should fully leverage the initiative of both instructors and students, utilizing various modern teaching equipment and research methods to implement heuristic and visual teaching, thereby improving teaching effectiveness and cultivating a new generation of high-quality applied TCM orthopedics professionals.
