Long bone fractures treated by traditional bonesetters: A study of patients' behaviour

Tropical Doctor, Volume 35, No. 2, Year 2005

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 a TBS are explored. © 2005, Royal Society of Medicine Press. All rights reserved.
