Objectives:
Patterns of trauma during the covid-19 lockdown were reviewed.
Methods:

Results:
Significant increase were noted in domestic injuries due to slip and fall at home, fall from height, trees, snake bite and hip and spine fractures during the lockdown.
Conclusion:
Though the type of injuries during the lockdown were different, they warrant treatment on urgent basis even during the covid times to avoid long term morbidity.
