Bone Setting / Jie Gu
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-31
CORE DEFINITION
Using manual techniques to reset broken bones, immobilizing with splints, and administering internal bone-knitting medicines (e.g., ground beetle, pyrite).
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Structural realignment. In traditional Chinese orthopedics, one does not only look at the bone, but also at the sinews (tendons and soft tissues). 'Sinews bind bones.' The key to bone setting is to regulate the sinews. When the sinews are aligned, the bone naturally returns to its proper position.
Anchor fast decisions
In traditional Chinese orthopedics, 'sinews bind bones'—the position of bones is constrained by sinews (soft tissues, structural relationships). If only the bone is set without regulating the sinews, misalignment is likely to recur; if the sinews are regulated first (relaxed and aligned), the bone will naturally return to its place. This is 'structural realignment': first adjust the constraining structure, and the main body will naturally return to its proper position.
