Osteochondroma is prone to recurrence following surgical intervention, and modern medical treatments have inherent limitations. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) possesses a theoretical foundation for the prevention and treatment of bone tumours. This study focuses on TCM approaches to preventing and treating post-operative recurrence of osteochondroma. Employing a methodology combining literature review with clinical case analysis, it examines clinical cases of patients who underwent osteochondroma surgery and relevant literature. Results indicate that TCM, centred on “tonifying the liver and kidneys,” employs formulas such as Liuwei Dihuang Wan to promote bone repair and reduce recurrence rates. However, challenges remain in the standardization of TCM pattern differentiation. Conclusions suggest TCM can complement medical treatments, highlighting the need for in-depth research and standardised clinical application.
