Background: In Ethiopia, orthopaedic services are limited, and many injured children undergo traditional bonesetting (TBS) despite its association with limb- and life-threatening complications. We sought to identify the risk factors for amputation and a prolonged hospitalization of >7 days in children who presented to hospitals after undergoing TBS.

Methods: Over a 15-month period, we prospectively enrolled children who presented to 8 Ethiopian hospitals after undergoing TBS.
