The World Health Organization announced the COVID-19 outbreak as a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. Despite the fact that orthopaedic departments are not considered first-line department in the war against pandemic, the pandemic has had a big effect on orthopaedic services. A few studies have found the pandemic effect on the orthopaedics field, but none have found the effect of a one-year pandemic, especially in Indonesia. This study aimed to know the effect of one-year COVID-19 on trauma of lower extremity at Orthopaedic Service in Prof Soeharso Top Referral Orthopaedic Hospital, Indonesia.
It is a cross-sectional study. The study compared the population group during one year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia to the same period one year before. This study was conducted in Prof. Dr. R. Soeharso Orthopaedic Hospital, Surakarta, Indonesia from March 2019-February 2021. The subjects were patients of lower extremity trauma both surgical procedure and outpatient visit. Patients recorded on other orthopaedic service support installations like radiology, laboratory, or physiotherapy were excluded.
There was a significant reduction (54.9%) in total trauma of lower extremities patients in Prof Dr R Soeharso Orthopaedic Hospital, Surakarta, from 2146 (pre-COVID-19) to 968 (during COVID-19) in the March 2019-February 2021 period. There was also a significant reduction (90.9%) in total cases outpatient visit in pre-COVID-19 compared to during COVID-19 (p<0.05) and surgical procedures (39%) in pre-COVID-19 compare to the COVID-19 period (p<0.05).
There was a significant reduction on trauma of lower extremities patients both outpatient visits and surgical procedures during pandemic COVID-19 than before the COVID-19 occurred.
世界卫生组织于2020年3月11日宣布新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情为全球大流行。尽管在抗击疫情的战斗中，骨科部门不被视为一线科室，但疫情对骨科服务产生了重大影响。一些研究发现了疫情对骨科领域的影响，但尚未有研究发现长达一年的疫情所产生的影响，尤其是在印度尼西亚。本研究旨在了解在印度尼西亚苏哈索教授顶级转诊骨科医院的骨科服务中，长达一年的新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情对下肢创伤的影响。
这是一项横断面研究。该研究将印度尼西亚新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情期间的一年人群组与前一年同期进行了比较。本研究于2019年3月至2021年2月在印度尼西亚梭罗市的R.苏哈索教授骨科医院进行。研究对象为接受手术治疗和门诊就诊的下肢创伤患者。记录在其他骨科服务支持机构（如放射科、实验室或理疗科）的患者被排除在外。
在2019年3月至2021年2月期间，梭罗市R.苏哈索教授骨科医院下肢创伤患者的总创伤量显著减少（54.9%），从2146例（新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情前）降至968例（新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情期间）。与新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情期间相比，新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情前的门诊就诊总病例数也显著减少（90.9%）（p<0.05），与新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情期间相比，新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情前的手术例数减少了39%（p<0.05）。
与新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情发生前相比，新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情期间下肢创伤患者的门诊就诊和手术例数均显著减少。
