Clinical Trial Summary

This is a one centered retrospective study. Tendency for surgical interventions in the pre-pandemic period was reduced to protect surgical team and patients. The investigators aimed to find out the answer to the following question: will conservative treatment be the shining star in the post pandemic period?


Description:

The researchers compared the treatments performed for fractures during the Covid 19 pandemic period with the treatments performed in the prepandemic period. For this purpose, they tried to measure the effectiveness of the treatments according to clinical scoring by forming 2 groups.
