Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Trauma; COVID-19 Pandemic

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Comparison of Emergency Orthopedic Trauma Admissions Between Pre-Pandemic and Pandemic Period

  The main purpose of the study is to compare the changes in the number and quality of emergency orthopedic trauma applications before the COVID-19 pandemic and during the pandemic period.

  up to 6 months

• Detection of Changes in the Epidemiology of Orthopedic Trauma

  The research aims to determine the changes in the epidemiology of orthopedic traumas during the pandemic period compared to before the pandemic. This includes patient demographics, injury mechanisms, diagnoses, injured extremity or anatomical sites, fracture types and classifications, polytrauma rates, trauma-related complications, length of hospital stay, and treatment methods.

  up to 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• Changes in Patient Demographic Characteristics

  6 weeks

• Comparison of Injury Mechanisms and Diagnoses

  8 weeks

• Injured Extremities or Anatomical Regions

  8 weeks

• Fracture Types and Classifications

  6 weeks

• Trauma-Related Complications

  6 months
