During the main sampling phase, 31 provinces (municipalities or autonomous regions) in mainland China were categorized according to which of three types of regions they were located in regions withвЂ‰>вЂ‰1000 cumulative confirmed cases, regions with 500вЂ“1000 cumulative confirmed cases, and regions withвЂ‰вЂ‰1000 cumulative confirmed cases, four in regions with 500вЂ“1000 cumulative confirmed cases, and seven in regions withвЂ‰<вЂ‰500 cumulative confirmed cases, as shown in the flow chart in Fig. We also evaluated whether this relationship changed according to age, sex, site, mechanism of the injury, or the area of the epidemic in which the traumatic fractures occurred. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between traumatic fractures and the spread of COVID-19. It is important to investigate the epidemiology of patients with COVID-19 and identify the risk factors for traumatic fractures. To date, however, the effect of COVID-19 infection on traumatic fractures has not been investigated extensively. Several studies have reported that preventive measures such as self-isolation at home, traffic control, and strict limitation of individualsвЂ™ access to the community has decreased the risk of traumatic fractures 9, 10. The spread of COVID-19 is associated with the occurrence of traumatic fractures due to changes in individualsвЂ™ lifestyles and psychological states.

Injury-related fractures represent a primary drain on medical resources 7, 8. Injuries also place a huge burden on China there, they are the fifth most common cause of death and result in more deaths than do diabetes and infectious diseases 6. Traumatic injury is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Since March 18 2021, there have been no new confirmed native cases in China all new confirmed cases were imported ( ). Although China has suffered from the COVID-19 outbreak since 20 January 2020, the Chinese government has taken strict prevention and movement-restricting measures that have proved to be very effective in controlling and wiping out the pandemic. Many countries have adopted strict preventive control measures to restrict peopleвЂ™s movement, including the wearing of masks, self-isolation at home, traffic control, and community blockade. By 26 November 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 had generated more than 60,864,066 confirmed cases in 208 countries, including 1,429,812 deaths ( ). Primary (home) prevention measures are emphasized to prevent traumatic fractures.Д¬oronavirus disease (COVID-19) has swept the world and has officially been declared a global pandemic 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. With the increase in newly confirmed COVID-19 cases, fracture risk decreased for children, young and middle-aged adults, elderly men, high-energy fractures, and residents in regions withвЂ‰вЂ‰1000 cumulative confirmed COVID-19 cases when newly confirmed COVID-19 cases increased in China. Low-energy fractures accounted for 23.3%. The highest proportion of fractures were in the tibia and fibula (14.9%), followed by the femur (13.6%) and ulna and radius (12.5%). The epidemiologic characteristics of traumatic fractures and the association between COVID-19 and fracture risk were explored using descriptive epidemiological methods and a distributed lag nonlinear model. Age, sex, fracture site, mechanism of injury, and concurrent fractures of traumatic fracture patients in selected hospitals were collected from 10 January to 10 July 2020. A nationally representative sample of COVID-19 prevalence areas selected using stratified random sampling was retrospectively analyzed. This study aimed to investigate the association between COVID-19 and fracture risk and provide a targeted reference for the world through ChinaвЂ™s experience.
