Abstract
Our aim was to compare the epidemiology of surgically treated fractures during the pandemic period with previous years without the pandemic. This was a retrospective study with data collection that included patients hospitalized and operated for fractures between March 24th and June 23rd in 2018, 2019 and 2020. A total of 879 patients were registered, resulting in a total of 965 fractures. During the COVID-19 pandemic, 234 patients were registered, representing 26.62% of the total, and in the period before the pandemic, 645 patients were registered, 73.38% of the total. We observed a proportional increase in high-energy trauma in the social isolation period and patient's average age. The other changes found in the study had no statistical difference. Level of Evidence IV, Case Series.
