Although they are popular in public, traditional bone setter are known in hospital practice for their failures and complications which present to hospitals for remediation.

This was an observational descriptive study, 36 patients with complications after practice of traditional bone setters and subsequently presented to emergency ward in Hasan Sadikin Hospital between 1st January 2015 and 31st August 2017 were evaluated. Among emergecy orthopaedic cases at Hasan Sadikin Hospital caused by bonesetter practice, compartment syndrome and gangrene are the most common complications occured.
