Retrospective study reveals financial and cultural factors influence SAMA in trauma patients.

The majority of patients showed SAMA within the first 24 hours post-admission.
Reasons for SAMA included financial issues affecting 62.9% of patients and preference for traditional bone setting.
The patient cohort was predominantly male with a mean age of 32 years, and closed fractures were the most common type.
