The aim of the study is to compare emergency orthopedic trauma admissions between the pre-pandemic period and the pandemic period and to detect changes in orthopedic trauma epidemiology.
The aim of the study is to compare emergency orthopedic trauma admissions between the pre-pandemic period and the pandemic period and to detect changes in orthopedic trauma epidemiology. For this purpose, an epidemiological study was conducted in our country, comparing trauma admissions to a level 1 trauma hospital during a one-year period before the pandemic with those in the year following the onset of the pandemic.Demographic characteristics of the patients, such as age and gender, were recorded. In addition, the injury mechanisms of the patients, diagnosis, injured extremityor anatomical region, broken bone, fracture classification, multitrauma rates, trauma releated complications, hospitalization days, and treatment modalities were examined.
