Babatunde A Solagberu1.   

Abstract

This is a study of 295 patients (23.1% of 1278 patients with long bone fractures) who had visited the traditional bonesetter (TBS). The initial idea of visiting TBS was mooted by an external person in 75% of cases, whereas to discharge from TBS was usually the patient's idea. The reasons for a patient to opt for aTBS are explored.
