This study investigates the reasons behind the high patronage of traditional bonesetters (TBS) in Makurdi, Nigeria, despite the associated complications. The main reasons for seeking TBS treatment included advice from relatives and friends, cost, sociocultural beliefs, and fear of medical procedures, with many patients expressing dissatisfaction with the outcomes. The findings highlight the need for public health interventions to address the reliance on TBS and improve awareness of modern orthopedic care.
