Binary and multiple logistic regressions were used to assess the association between the independent variables and traditional bone setting service utilization.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 420 patients with orthopedic injuries participated in the study. The prevalence of traditional bone setting utilization was 55.2% (95% CI: 50.44, 59.95). In a multivariable regression model, rural residency (AOR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.02, 2.39), low annual income (<21,000 Birr) (AOR = 4.06, 95% CI: 1.97, 8.37), use of health insurance (AOR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.41, 0.95), and extremity trauma (AOR = 1.82, 95% CI: 1.11, 2.99) were significantly associated with traditional bone setting utilization.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Traditional bone setting utilization is common among rural, poor, and uninsured patients. Further research may be important to ensure its appropriate utilization.</p>","PeriodicalId":73102,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences","volume":"6 ","pages":"1484403"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12011816/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144042707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
