Classification and reduction manipulation of fractures in Chinese traditional Mongolian osteopathy

OBJECTIVE:To explore the concept of classification and reduction manipulation of fractures in Chinese traditional Mongolian osteopathy.METHODS:Based on the linear classification of fractures in Chinese traditional Mongolian osteopathy and the practice of reduction manipulation,a dynamic classification and reduction manipulation concept of fractures was established with the use of modern biomechanical principles and methods.RESULTS:We classified the linear classification and reduction manipulation of fractures in Chinese traditional Mongolian osteopathy based on the achievement of fracture line and used the cause of the formation of the fracture line for our dynamic classification and reduction manipulation of fractures concept.CONCLUSION:The etiology of the formation of fracture lines can be used to decrease diagnostic error,increase therapeutic effects of manipulation,and further provide a new concept and method for the development of the reduction concept of fractures.

Biological macro-idea and criterion of osteopathic fracture immobilization in China's traditional mongolian medicine

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biological macro-idea and criterion of osteopathic fracture immobilization in China's traditional Mongolian medicine.METHODS:Based on biological naturalism regarding the relationship between man and universe(including psychosomatic integration) in osteopathic fracture immobilization in China's traditional Mongolian medicine,we used modern physiopsychological and biomechanical principles and methods to investigate the biological macro-characteristics of humanization,behaviorism,and wholism in "dynamic" fixation of fractures.RESULTS:Osteopathic fracture immobilization in China's traditional Mongolian medicine is based on the fixation criterion of macro-idea and method as well as on geometry,mechanics,motion,and stress and psychological stability in "non-sheltered fixation" of fractures contained in the life view of nature,regarding the relationship between man and universe(including psychosomatic integration) and on harmony between the limbs and the whole body,between body and function,and between man and nature.CONCLUSIONS:Osteopathic fracture immobilization in China's traditional Mongolian medicine is fixation without trauma or shelter.The principle and method of whole,dynamic,and functional fixation of fractures is not only radical,but also represents a new direction for developing the principle and method of fracture immobilization.
