This is a retrospective review of paediatric elbow trauma, which was initially treated by bonesetters and subsequently reported to the hospital for management. This paper describes the pattern of trauma and the complications of unscientific management. The report also recommends a basic training program for the bonesetters so as to make them aware of the potential complications involved in managing paediatric elbow trauma.
