The orthopedics department is introduced as follows:
The orthopedics and traumatology department of traditional Chinese medicine is a science that studies and prevents injuries and diseases of human muscles, bones and muscles, qi and blood, viscera and meridians. In ancient times, it belonged to the category of "folding selection" and "golden arrow"
Historically, undergraduate courses have been called "synopsis of the golden chamber", "bonesetting", "bonesetting" and "traumatology". The orthopedics and traumatology department of traditional Chinese medicine has a long history, which was created and developed by people of all ethnic groups in China in the long-term struggle against traumatic diseases. It has formed a rich theoretical system and become an independent discipline. It is an important part of China medicine and has contributed to the prosperity of the Chinese nation and the development of medicine.
In the Zhou Dynasty, medicine was divided into four branches: dietotherapy (nutrition medicine), disease medicine (internal medicine), selective medicine (surgery) and veterinary medicine. The choice of doctors is divided into swelling, ulcer, golden ulcer and ulcer, and orthopedics directly includes the latter two choices. At the same time, the first two options (swelling, ulcer) of bone tumors, bone and other chronic infections are also related to orthopedics. It seems that choosing doctors in ancient times mainly refers to orthopedics.
From the perspective of origin, according to the study of characters and antiquities, the origin of orthopedics and traumatology may precede other medical disciplines, and long-term medical practice has also created conditions for the formation and independence of orthopedics and traumatology, laying a good foundation for the formation of orthopedics and traumatology theory.
However, from the classification point of view, orthopedics and traumatology of traditional Chinese medicine is still an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, but compared with other internal medicine, surgery, women and children, it has its relative independence.
