What We Do
Hawassa University Comprehensive specialized Hospital (HUCSH), Orthopaedics unit is established 4 years back under the department of surgery by Dr. Ephrem Gebrehana, the Pioneer Orthopaedic Surgeon for the University. Since the beginning of orthopaedics care in the Hospital, there were numerous Orthopaedic surgeons who were accompanying and working with him for different period of time. Drs. Mamo D, Bruh W, Yared, Samson T, Sintayehu B and Mengistu G were the orthopaedic surgeons who play a pivotal role for the development of the orthopaedic care until the year of 2019 at different time period.
Now we are motivated to conduct this multicentre national study to know the width and breadth of traditional bone setter related complications at national level and to prepare scope of practice guidelines for the traditional bone setter with responsible stakeholders in the regional and national level.
