Limb Injuries and Disability in the Southwest Region of Cameroon.

Introduction: Extremity injuries are a leading cause of morbidity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), often resulting in marked short-term and long-term disabilities. Most of the existing knowledge on these injuries originates from hospital-based studies; however, poor access to health care in LMICs limits these data because of inherent selection bias. This subanalysis of a larger population-level cross-sectional study in the Southwest Region of Cameroon aims to determine patterns of limb injury, treatment-seeking behaviors, and predictors of disability.
