Acupotomy is becoming a popular subject area in health care all over the world. Acupotomy is a relatively new type of non-invasive acupuncture/ micro surgery using a small needle-scalpel invented by Professor Zhu Hanzhang around 30 years ago in China. It is a slightly thicker and more blunt instrument that gets under the skin and is able to break apart adhesions and muscle knots more effectively than a regular acupuncture needle would.

This technique is used to treat chronic injuries, as well soft tissue disorders and the abnormal bony growths that cause acute pain. Combining techniques from acupuncture and surgery, Acupotomy demands an extraordinarily perceptive understanding of human anatomy from its practitioners.

Acupotomoloy, a fusion of the basic theories of traditional Chinese and modern western medicine, has formed a complete system of medical science. This is a revolution in the medical field. Moreover, it symbolizes a new era in the medical science. Acupotomology and Acupotomy were awarded a gold medal at 37th Brussels Eureka World Fair for Invention (research and industrial innovation ).The inventor and founder, Professor Zhu Hanzhang won the Officer Medal, also he was awarded a domestic reward of a HuaTuo Gold Statue in China.

It combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern western medicine. Under the guidance of dialectical materialism and philosophical thinking, Acupotomology breaks through the opposite patterns of the abstract thinking formula of Chinese medicine and the figurative formula of modern western medicine. Using creative and distinctive pattern of thinking, Acupotomology fuses together with the two basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine and modern western. It has gradually established a new and quite complete theory system of medical science. And the fundamental conceptions, basic contents and treatment principles have been established completely. The basic theory can be divided into four parts:

1. the theory concerning the etiology and pathology of chronic to soft tissues; 2. the theory concerning the etiology and pathology of abnormal bony growths; 3. the theory concerning the essence of channels and collaterals of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM); 4. the theory concerning closed surgery;

These theories are related to the basic categories of traditional Chinese and modern western medicine, and have been proven by the clinical practice and millions of cured patients during last three decades.

Acupotomolopy carries out both the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and modern western medicine simultaneously. It utilizes the most up-to-date achievements in modern natural scientific research. Acupotomology makes an essential leap to the recognition of diseases, to the research methods of etiology and pathology, as well as to the diagnosis and the therapeutic methods. As a great value to etiology and pathology, Acupotomology has rectified some mistakes in the past views, rediscovered and redefined some obscure views. Thus practitioners can substantially understand human physiology and pathology, precisely determine the locations of the pathological changes, and carefully and exactly manipulate the therapy technique. Consequently five great changes have been brought out in therapeutic methods and cure effects:

1. change a great number of untreatable diseases into rapidly treatable diseases; 2. change a great number of incurable diseases into curable diseases; 3. change open surgery into closed surgery without breakage of the skin or bleeding; 4. change complicated treatments into simple treatments; 5. change traumatic, painful treatments into almost nontraumatic painless treatments.

As the practical basis and concrete manipulation technique of Acupotomology, Acupotomy is an organic combination of the traditional Chinese acupuncture and modern western micro-surgery. Moreover, it is a development and a successful example of a fusion with traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. Small needle-scalpel (or Acupotomy) is a miniature surgical instrument. It combines a needle for acupuncture with a scalpel for surgery. The needle-scalpel has obtained and combined the therapeutic advantages of both two instruments. It has solved many difficult problems that could not be settled by past therapeutic techniques. Thus, many kinds of intractable diseases that could not be treated by routine treatments can be cured now. Such as:

- aseptic necrosis femoris; - severe cervical spondylopathy (eg, hyperosteogeny of cervical vertebra); - severe lumbar spondylopathy (eg, sciatica due to prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc, paralysis of lower limbs due to dislocation of lumbar vertebra, etc.); - all kinds of limb joints diseases (eg, scapulohumeral periarthritis, ankylosis, etc.); - severe hyperosteogeny and all kinds of ailments result from spurs; - severe rheumatoid arthritis; - severe limb deformity (eg, hump back, child "o"shaped leg).
