Differential Diagnosis of Fracture in Chinese Medicine

The differential diagnosis of fracture in TCM is mostly differentiated from the common clinical conditions of hamstring injury and dislocation. Fasciitis belongs to the category of soft tissue injury in Western medicine, and it does not have the characteristic signs of fracture, such as bone rubbing sensation, bone rubbing sound, abnormal movement, deformity, and longitudinal percussion pain. In addition, the pain level of hamstring injuries is not as severe as that of fractures, and most patients can be diagnosed after a radiographic examination. In addition, fractures are often differentiated from dislocations. Subluxation is a common clinical condition that occurs in the joints of the body. Although patients with dislocations often have abnormal movements and deformities, they also have the characteristic sign of elastic fixation, in which the dislocated joint is fixed in a specific position. The deformity is often present, mostly in the joints of the body, and in most cases a depression of the joint surface is palpable, which can be confirmed by imaging.
