Ideas, properties, and standards of fracture repositioning with osteopathy in traditional Mongolian medicine in China

OBJECTIVE： To explore the unique ideas, properties, and standards of fracture repositioning with osteopathy in traditional Mongolian medicine in China. METHODS： Based on the natural life concept of “integration of universe and man,” osteopathy in traditional Mongolian medicine in China uses the modern principles and methods of physiology, psychology, and biomechanics. Against this background, we explored the unique ideas, properties, and standards of fracture repositioning in traditional Mongolian medicine.RESULTS： Fracture treatment with osteopathy in traditional Mongolian medicine in China is based on （a） the ideas of natural, sealed, self and dynamic repositioning of fractures; （b） the properties of structural continuity and functional completeness; （c） the standards of “integration of movement and stillness” and “force to force.”CONCLUSION： The unique ideas, properties, and standards of fracture repositioning with osteopathy in traditional Mongolian medicine in China have resulted in the widespread use of such techniques and represents the future direction of the development of fracture repositioning.
