Distal radius fracture is a common injury when people fall onto an outstretched hand. If the fracture is not reduced or fixed appropriately, it will result in bad recovery situations, including limitation of wrist movements and wrist dysfunction. This case is concerned with an 89-year-old woman who fell onto her left hand and resulted in her left distal radius fractures. Although orthopedic surgeons used nonoperative treatment by bone-setting manipulation and casting for immobilization, bruise and pain were not alleviated. Because of soaring blood pressure and severe sleep disturbance caused by severe pain derived from her fracture, she turned to Chinese medicine to resolve her problem. After the application of the Feng Yang Men bone-setting manipulation to this unsatisfactory fracture reduction, bruise and pain were dissipated by restored local circulation, and fracture healing was accelerated by the increment of contact in this area. The overall treatment of traditional medicine, including fracture reduction, fixation, oral medicines and topical medicines, made the structure and function of the fracture recover rapidly! This article presents and discusses the use of the Feng Yang Men bone-setting manipulation for Colles’ fracture, and provides reference for the same medical industry. |
