Abstract

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of implemented social isolation measures on the character- istics of orthopedic pediatric traumas during this COVID-19 pandemic lockdown period. METHODS: Patients who were admitted at our center between two time periods: April 3, 2019–May 31, 2019 (no lockdown period) and April 3, 2020–May 31, 2020 (lockdown period) were included to the study. Group 1 comprised 743 patients who were treated during no lockdown period, whereas Group 2 comprised 615 patients who were treated during lockdown period. Patients’ medical records and radiographs were reviewed through our hospital’s computer database. In addition, we recorded each patients’ age and gender, their definite diagnosis, the anatomic location of the trauma, the type of trauma (fracture, dislocation, tendon injury, ligament injury, fracture dislocation, open fracture, etc.), the type of pediatric fracture (displaced fracture, torus fracture, epiphyseal fracture, pathological fracture, etc.), and the treatment method (non-operative/operative). RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was significantly lower in Group 2 (p
