Key Clinical Message: This is the case of a 31‐year‐old farmer diagnosed with an open right ankle fracture and tetanus sustained from an accident after opting for traditional bonesetter treatment. Open fractures increase the risk of tetanus infection therefore herbal treatment should be discouraged. Source control is important for holistic management of tetanus.
