Traditional Chinese medicine speeds-up humerus fracture healing: Two case reports
Abstract
Objective Two cases illustrate the potential benefit of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments on speeding-up proximal humeral fracture healing.Clinical features The cases include two patients with traumatic right proximal humerus closed fracture, one who fell down while standing on a chair and the other hit by a moped. Alternative treatments had been applied to restore humerus fracture. They were treated with the same modality by acupuncture on LI4, LI10, LI1, LI15, LI16 and SI9, with occasional electroacupuncture at LI4 and LI16, as well as concomitant herbal formula powder prescription named "Zhèng Gŭ Zĭ Jīn Dān". Within 2 months treatment, both patients seemed to have speed-up bone healing. The Constant Score increased from 9 to 42 and 36, before and after acupuncture therapy.Conclusions To our experience, the old patients' fracture had speed-up healing while under TCM treatments. This might hint that TCM treatments not only play a role in pain control, but also accelerate bone healing for certain fracture cases. Long-term follow-up and future experimental studies are warranted to examine the efficacy of TCM treatments for healing bone fracture in the elderly.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
