Fig 1.
Longitudinal time chart of analyzed time frames before, during and after the COVID-19 shutdown in Berlin, Germany.
CTRL = Control; PRE = pre shutdown transition; POST = post shutdown transition; SHUTDOWN = shutdown.
Fig 2.
Daily total cases, contacts and orthopedic trauma cases before, during and after the COVID-19 shutdown.
A–C: Number of daily (A) total cases, (B) total contacts and (C) orthopedic trauma cases day by day during the four defined periods. Dotted lines indicate the CTRL period in 2019, solid lines indicate PRE, SHUTDOWN and POST periods in 2020. D–F: Box-whisker plots show the number of daily (D) total cases, (E) total contacts and (F) orthopedic trauma cases during the four different periods. CTRL = control; PRE = pre shutdown transition; POST = post shutdown transition; SHUTDOWN = shutdown.
Table 1.
Numbers (total and daily) of cases, contacts and orthopedic trauma cases as well as IRRs for the four defined periods (CTRL, PRE, SHUTDOWN, POST) before, during and after the COVID-19 shutdown in Berlin, Germany.
Table 2.
Summarized demographics, trauma environments, trauma causes, non-traumatic orthopedic presentations, treatment and discharge metrics before and during the COVID-19 shutdown in Berlin, Germany.

Total numbers, incidence proportions and RRs of different fractures and intracranial hemorrhages before (CTRL) and during the COVID-19 shutdown (SHUTDOWN) in Berlin, Germany.
Fig 3.
Plots showing RRs during the SHUTDOWN compared to the CTRL period for selected outcomes.
(A) Demographic specifics, trauma calls, deaths and substance abuse, (B) trauma causes within private environments and (C) within traffic and workplace environments. Circles indicate RRs (SHUTDOWN vs. CTRL) and whiskers the 95% CIs.
