Abstract:This paper explains the concept of former scalene syndrome, epidemiology, and needle knife applied anatomy knowledge of the disease, leading to the new cognition of acupotomology for the pathogenesis and pathological structure from the two aspects of human bowstring mechanics anatomical system in basic theories of acupotomology and pathological structure -- mesh theory respectively, and points out that the root cause of this disease is the force balance disorders of head - ridge - shoulder bowstring mechanics anatomical subsystem, head - ridge - chest bowstring mechanics anatomical subsystem and neck section bowstring mechanics anatomical subsystems, its essence is pathologic adhesion, scar and contracture, and its pathological framework is a three-dimensional network pathological framework with points, lines and facial bodies. At last, it is concluded that the overall acupotome lysis is used to treat the disease in accordance with specific conditions and in different parts according to the courses of treatment, so as to provide a new idea for clinical treatment of this disease.
