Abstract

Blood stasis leads to water retention" is a classic theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) proposed in the ancient text "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber". This academic concept has traditionally been applied primarily in gynecological clinical diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, this theory has been widely applied in treating traumatic limb edema in orthopedics, demonstrating significant efficacy with minimal adverse reactions. This paper presents a preliminary discussion on the application of this theory in treating traumatic limb edema in orthopedics.
