The hidden dangers of staying home: a London trauma unit experience of lockdown during the COVID-19 virus pandemic

CONCLUSION: Overall, both the number of injuries seen and trauma operations completed during the enforced lockdown decreased. This is probably due to a change in the way the general public are living their lives, and the reconfigurations within the NHS in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an interesting time within trauma and orthopaedic departments, as they continue to adapt to the changing injuries and working environment.PMID:33645278 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2020.7066
