Aim: This study aims to estimate the risk of acquiring medical complication or death from COVID-19 infection in patients who were admitted for orthopaedic trauma surgery during the peak and plateau of pandemic. Unlike other recently published studies, where patient-cohort included a more morbid group and cancer surgeries, we report on a group of patients who had limb surgery and were more akin to elective orthopaedic surgery.
Methods: The study included 214 patients who underwent orthopaedic trauma surgeries in the hospital between 12th March and 12th May-2020 when the pandemic was on the rise in the United Kingdom.
