Knee injuries are common in daily life, traffic accidents and sports. The knee joint, in particular, is vulnerable to injury because of its pivotal position as the “top and bottom” of the body. According to the AAOS survey alone, in 1997, six million people in the United States sought medical attention for knee injuries! As the standard of living in China has improved and health awareness has increased, the number of patients coming to hospitals for treatment of knee injuries has also increased in recent years. Since the diagnosis and treatment of knee injuries is still a difficult problem in orthopedics and sports trauma clinics, early misdiagnosis and failure to treat can cause irreparable damage to patients later! Therefore, the treatment of knee injuries is still of great clinical concern. In order to better serve the majority of patients with joint injuries, China joined the Bone and Joint Decade in October 2002 and declared the period from 2002 to 2011 as the “Chinese Bone and Joint Health Decade”. The main content of the Decade is to apply the advanced medical technology and related advanced experience in the field of orthopedics, and strive to provide more and better medical services for many patients with joint injuries and diseases. In fact, as early as in ancient times, joint injuries and illnesses have already attracted a great deal of attention from traditional Chinese medicine in China! The ancients believed that the movement of the human body mainly refers to the movement of the joints, which depends on the tendons to complete, and its power source is the muscles. As the saying goes, the joints are the joints, tendons belong to the joints, tendons are connected to the bones, tendons can bind the bones, so the bones are strong and tendons are strong, tendons are strong and the “joints” are solid. The “fall and flicker”, can cause injury to the tendons and bones, “so that the bone suture open wrong”, “joint misalignment”, and even joint dislocation fracture. In addition, can also be due to “long sitting injury meat, long standing injury bone, long walking injury tendons” and other overwork injury, and eventually “overuse disease birth”. Therefore, the ancients advocate “not to treat the disease to treat the disease”, emphasizing the need to “adjust the shape of the rest”, in order to achieve the “harsh disease without” the work! However, if the injury occurs, it is advocated that both internal and external treatment, diagnosis and treatment: in the local compresses, fumigation, tendon manipulation, massage, but also to be taken internally “to clear heat and cool the blood, blood circulation and blood stasis, qi circulation, and Ying pain, and strengthen the tendons and bones, liver and kidney” and other Chinese medicine, and with acupuncture and moxibustion, as well as practice guidance, in order to The effect of “treating both the symptoms and the root cause”! This is the reason why the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine in China to deal with joint injuries and diseases can still obtain good results! However, due to the constraints of the level of productivity development, traditional Chinese medicine is not very effective in dealing with complex and serious joint injuries and diseases, and even sometimes lacks effective solutions. On the other hand, modern medicine has introduced advanced imaging technology and minimally invasive arthroscopic surgical techniques into the clinic, thus greatly enhancing the clinical ability to deal with complex joint injuries to the height of “precision and microscopic”. However, due to the influence of the formal logical thinking method that emphasizes “empirical evidence”, the clinical management of joint injuries has the defect of “emphasizing structure but not function”, and emphasizing the management of the local area but neglecting the role of overall treatment. This is one of the distinctive features of the Department of Knee Trauma of Sichuan Orthopedic Hospital that has matured in the treatment of knee injuries. This is a new clinical service system based on the bio-psycho-social medical model, with the highest goal of helping patients to recover the function of the injured knee to the maximum. It emphasizes the application of modern medical diagnosis and treatment techniques for objective and quantitative microscopic treatment of knee injuries and diseases, but also focuses on macroscopic, holistic diagnosis and treatment of patients with knee injuries and diseases, strengthening doctor-patient communication, activating the patient’s subjective initiative, and mobilizing all medical means to give full play to the known and even unknown repair potential of the human body through the concentric collaboration of both doctors and patients. Therefore, the doctor should establish the patient’s rehabilitation treatment plan according to the patient’s local injury and overall functional condition. To summarize our clinical experience, we recommend a combination of Chinese and Western medicine in the non-surgical treatment of knee injuries. We emphasize that both internal and external treatment and staging should be used, and that physical therapy should be strengthened along with pharmacotherapy and physiotherapy, promoting the “spirit of martial medicine” of Professor Zheng Huaixian; in cases that may involve surgical treatment, we emphasize that the first step should be “non-operative” therapy! In cases where non-surgical treatment has failed, or where domestic and foreign research and our previous experience have confirmed that “surgery” is warranted, it is appropriate to use “minor surgery”, i.e., minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, to deal with the case. This is because, on the one hand, modern technology provides all the conditions needed to perform minimally invasive surgery on television, and the specialist has mastered this technology to ensure safety; on the other hand, the highest clinical goal for the knee is to achieve the best rehabilitation outcome for the patient with the least invasive or minimal trauma and the shortest treatment time! Of course, arthroscopic surgery is not a panacea, and sometimes it is necessary to perform an open-joint procedure. But you can be sure that as science continues to advance, there will be fewer and fewer major invasive surgeries that involve cutting into joints! There will be more and more “minimally invasive” arthroscopic procedures that can be done on television. But “minimally invasive” is not “non-invasive” after all! I believe that one day, doctors will no longer need to use knives to treat people! This is the true embodiment of “humanitarian” thinking, and this is the real gospel for patients! Although this day will surely come, for now, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine is a powerful tool for clinical management of knee injuries!
