Abstract
Background: Patients with asymptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can transmit the disease to others. Since the trauma patients represent a portion of society and can be asymptomatic carriers of COVID-19, it is essential for medical staff to use precautions when managing all trauma patients with or without symptoms of COVID-19.
 Case Report: In this article, we discuss three patients with bone fractures who had no previous symptoms of COVID-19. Two cases were old patients with intertrochanteric fractures, and the other one was a young man with a distal clavicular fracture. All patients were diagnosed incidentally in the course of the admission.
 Conclusion: Emergency room (ER) personnel and orthopedic surgeons should be aware of asymptomatic COVID-19 cases. It is important to use standard personal protective equipment (PPE) during the evaluation of all patients with orthopedic trauma to prevent disease spread.
