Your study focuses on: (1) determinants/motives of TBS preference, (2) delayed orthopaedic presentation, and (3) functional disability among rural trauma patients. Here are the closest matches, ranked by similarity:
🥇 Best Match
"Motives and consequences of musculoskeletal injuries management at traditional bone setting centers rather than hospital orthopedic departments in Khartoum, Sudan 2020"
- Authors: Hamad H, Omer D, Abdelnabi R, Abdelgaleel A

- PMC: PMC12341173
Why it matches: This is the single closest article. It is a cross-sectional observational study that directly investigates:
- Motives (determinants) for choosing TBS over hospital orthopaedic departments
- Subsequent complications from TBS management
- Hospital vs. community-based recruitment from a low-resource setting
- Findings: 66.7% of participants used TBS as a 1st or 2nd intervention; complications in 22.3% of TBS users
- Also examines associations between socioeconomic/educational factors and healthcare-seeking behavior
🥈 Second Best Match
"Reasons for Patronage of Traditional Bone Setters"
- Authors: Abang IE, Asuquo J, Ngim NE, et al.

- DOI: 10.4103/1117-6806.188993
- PMC: PMC5013735
Why it matches: 24-month prospective study from an orthopaedic clinic analyzing:
- Specific reasons (determinants) for TBS patronage - including faith in TBS, cost, external decision-making, cultural/religious beliefs
- Educational background as a predictor of TBS use
- Patients recruited from orthopaedics OPD (mirrors tertiary care setting)
- Directly parallels your study's "determinants of preference" objective
🥉 Third Match
"Complications of treatment of musculoskeletal injuries by bone setters"
- Authors: Dada A, Giwa SO, Yinusa W
- Journal: West African Journal of Medicine, 2009 Jan
- PMID: 19662745
Why it matches: Covers TBS-associated morbidity in a hospital-presenting cohort, with discussion of delayed presentation to formal orthopaedic care.

Recommendation: For your reference section, PMID 40809578 (Sudan, 2024) is the most methodologically and thematically aligned - it shares your cross-sectional design, tertiary/community recruitment, focus on motives for TBS preference, and outcome assessment in a low-resource African setting. PMID 27843274 (Nigeria, 2016) is the best match for the "determinants/reasons for patronage" component specifically.
