Background: This study aimed to assess the radiological and clinical outcomes of treatment using the ankle dislocation method for posterior malleolar malunion.

Method: Thirty-one patients with posterior malleolar malunion who underwent treatment using the ankle dislocation method from May 2015 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Key outcome measures were radiographic parameters (articular step-off, tibiofibular clear space, fibular length, tibial lateral surface angle, and ankle osteoarthritis), clinical scores (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot scale and Visual Analogue Scale), and patient satisfaction rate.

Objective: Using the method of bleeding from the orbital vein and lancing to make the animal model of trauma, and to observe the influence of reinforcing Qi strength spleen in the expression of bFGF and EGF in the reparative process of raw surface, in order to explore the possible mechanism of reinforcing Qi strength spleen in promoting the rehabilitation of soft tissue.

Methods: Forty healthly adult SD rats were made to be traumatic model using the method of bleeding from the orbital vein and lancing. After operation, there were 33 rats survival, which were divided into the reinforcing Qi strength spleen group, the activating blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis group and the model group randomly.

Objective: To study the effects of Chinese drugs based on strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi treatment rule on neoformative capillaries and fibroblast during the soft tissue repair after serious trauma in rats, so as to explore the biological basis of the TCM theory "the spleen dominate extremities and muscles" applied to the treatment of soft tissue injuries.

Methods: The model rats were established by bleeding from femoral artery and lancing method, and the rats were randomly divided into the control group, strengthening the spleen group and activating blood and resolving stasis group. The samples were got from the tissue of the wounded area at the 5th, 10th and 15th days after oral administration of the traditional Chinese medicine.
