Abstract

Acupuncture has a significant effect on promoting fracture healing. It can dredge meridians and collaterals, regulate qi and blood, eliminate swelling and remove stasis. However, its mechanism is still not fully elucidated. With the development of research, it has been found in recent years that the mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion promoting fracture healing involves regulating the expression level of cell growth factor, activating Wnt/β-Catenin and other signal pathways, improving local blood circulation, affecting the content of mineral elements in bone, regulating the endocrine system, promoting the differentiation and proliferation of bone cells, promoting the proliferation and activation of osteoblasts and influencing the apoptosis of bone cells And so on. The mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion promoting fracture healing is very complex, which is still at the level of animal experiments and cells.
