[1] Comparing the same periods in 2019 and 2020, it can be seen how the COVID-19 outbreak had a relevant impact on orthopedic surgical treatments, its frequency, type of fracture, anatomical location involved. It is also interesting to note that the epidemiology of orthopaedic trauma has decreased with equal distribution between the upper and lower limbs, but fractures of femur, elbow and humerus that often are due to domestic accidents, have remained stable. Future studies with a larger number of patients and a longer observation period are needed to evaluate the real impact of COVID-19 on the epidemiology of orthopedic trauma surgery.	./cache/cord-292156-chmyzmq0.txt	./txt/cord-292156-chmyzmq0.txt
