Femoral fractures are relatively common injuries that require timely and effective treatment to avoid long-term complications. Orthopedic surgeons rely on modern medical and surgical techniques to achieve optimal outcomes, whereas traditional bone setters continue to play a significant role in fracture care, particularly in rural communities where access to formal healthcare may be limited. A mixed-methods design was adopted, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative approaches to capture a comprehensive understanding of staff perspectives. Participants included orthopedic surgeons, nurses, and allied health professionals working at UITH. The study examined staff preferences, perceived effectiveness, and safety concerns associated with both management approaches, as well as the contextual factors influencing their choices. Findings from this research are expected to shed light on how healthcare workers view the coexistence of modern orthopedic practices and traditional bone setting. By analyzing these attitudes, the study aims to identify opportunities for integrating traditional practices with evidence-based medical care, while addressing safety concerns and improving patient outcomes. Ultimately, the research contributes to the broader discourse on fracture management in Nigeria, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive strategies that balance modern medical interventions with traditional practices. Such insights may inform policy development, strengthen collaboration between healthcare providers and communities, and enhance the overall quality of care for patients with femoral fractures. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Orthopaedic project topics and materials you might be interested in»Management of fracture clavicle - case study of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital»Management of fracture of tibia plateau - case study of University of Ibadan Teaching Hospital»A survey on the uses and effectiveness of oscillating saw in the removal of circular cast at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital»Attitude, practice, and knowledge of parents concerning clubfoot - case study of General Hospital Ilorin, Ilorin»Effect and complication of traditional bone setter in management of fracture in General Hospital Ilorin, Ilorin, Kwara state»Developing effective injury prevention and management strategies for athletes participating in high-risk sports - a comprehensive review and guideline»Average time of radiological union following non-operative management of the scaphoid fracture - case study of General Hospital, Ilorin»Average number of cast to correct foot following tenotomy at General Hospital Ilorin, Kwara state»Assessment and outcome of patient following the application of lumbar jacket - case study of General Hospital Ilorin, Ilorin, Kwara state»Attitude and belief of UITH staff in management of femoral fracture by orthopedic surgeons or traditional bone setters»Patient outcomes following closed reduction and casting for Colles’s fractures - case study of Kwara State University Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara state»Prevalence and management of osteoporosis of the femur in female in Mubo community, Ilorin, Kwara state
