[Summary of <i>WANG Jihong</i>'s experience in treating refractory lateral epicondylitis with crescent technique of blade needle].

This paper introduces Professor <i>WANG Jihong</i>'s clinical experience in treating refractory lateral epicondylitis using the <i>Wang</i>'s crescent technique of blade needle. Based on the classical theories of <i>Huangdi Neijing</i> (<i>the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic</i>) such as the "twelve sinew meridians" "short needling" and "<i>shu</i> needling", Professor <i>WANG</i> applies a self-designed blade needle with crescent needling method. This approach forms a distinctive treatment philosophy characterized by "sinew meridians as the foundation, selecting points at the pain site; using chicken-claw needling technique deliverd at both internal and external; integration of heaven, earth, and man, using both short and <i>shu</i> needling; treating tendon injuries and inflammation with the crescent technique of blade needle". It embodies the therapeutic concept of "treating tendons and bones simultaneously, harmonizing <i>yin</i> and <i>yang</i>", and shows unique advantages in the treatment of this condition.
