The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Ru-Yi-Jin-Huang-Saan for the treatment of Colles' fracture.
According to the definition of the World Health Organization, Taiwan officially entered the aged society in 2018. The population over the age of 65 exceeds 14% of the total population. Based on this, it is estimated that we will enter a super-aged society in 2026. Because the older the age, the higher the rate of bone loss, and the higher the risk of osteoporosis, the easier it is to fracture due to falls. The incidence of bone fracture is directly proportional to the aging population. Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) interventional fracture treatment has a long history and experience. Many recent studies show that TCM is benefit to reduce risk of total hip replacement and has a positive influence on the prevention of osteoporotic fracture. In drug mechanism research, some Chinese herbal medicine has been proved to promote bone fracture healing . Although most of these researches have been confirmed in the laboratory, little information is available on true patients. In clinical we observe a lot of topical Chinese medicine been used after fracture, so the purpose of this thesis is to investigate the effective of topical Chinese herbal paste. This study may lead to build the usage of guideline after fracture.

The maximum score in this section is 50 and minimum 0. 2. Function subscale: contains total 10 items which are further divided into 2 sections i.e specific activities (having 6 items) and usual activities (having 4 items). The maximum score in this section is 50 and minimum 0. Possible scores range from 0 (best score) to 100 (worst score). Change = (Day 6 score - Baseline score)
Time frame: Baseline and Day 6
Change from Baseline in C-reactive protein(CRP) at Day 6
CRP is used primarily as an indicator of inflammation.The higher the value, the more severe the inflammation is. Change = (Day 6 score - Baseline score)
Time frame: Baseline and Day 6
Change from Baseline with ultrasound at Day 6
ultrasound is used primarily as an indicator of swelling.The larger the value, the more swollen it is. Change = (Day 6 score - Baseline score)
