Four out of seven cases of elbow joint fractures and dislocations mismanaged by traditional bone setters in Plateau State, Nigeria are reported. A careful assessment of traditional bone setting as practised today in Nigeria should be made for advocating its integration into modern orthopaedic traumatology.
