Bone-setting, Chinese medicine refers to the treatment of fractures, dislocations and other diseases by pushing, dragging, pressing and pressing. Orthopedics, as a specialty name, is a specialty for diagnosis and treatment of injuries, and it is also one of the "thirteen subjects" of ancient medicine, some of which are also called traumatology or orthopedics.
The object of bonesetting is mainly the damage of bones, joints and soft tissues caused by external forces, but it also includes visceral injuries caused by similar reasons. The word "Zheng" is used as a gerund here. That is, it is a scientific technology to correct limb deformation and recovery caused by bone and joint injury.
In the official medical system of the Yuan Dynasty, there was the "Bonning Golden Carving Department". Therefore, Wei Yilin, a medical expert specializing in bonesetting in the Yuan Dynasty, set up the "Boning Golden Points" in Volume 18 of "A Good Prescription for World Doctors", specifically discussing the pulse causes, syndrome differentiation and treatment of bone and joint injuries and diseases caused by golden blades. Jin Jian of Medical Sect: Essential Principles of Bone-Setting and Mind-Setting, points out: "Today's bone-setting is also the evidence of ancient traumatic injuries."
