MetHOdS: eight apulian level 1 or level 2 orthopedic and trauma centers took part in the present study. in each trauma center, between March 9 and May 3 (eight weeks), the following data were prospectively recorded: the number of patients referring to Orthopedic and trauma emergency room (er) and their cause of injury (i.e. motor vehicle accident, domestic injury, working injury or sports injury); the number of patients referring to outpatient department and the number and type of surgical interventions performed. all trauma centers were also asked to gather the data summarizing surgical, outpatient and er activities during the same period in the previous three years (20XX-20XX).
