Deskripsi
Asymptomatic COVID-19 patients can transmit the disease to the others. Cases: In this article, we discuss three patients with fractures who had no previous symptoms of COVID-19. Two cases were old patients with intertrochanteric fractures, and the other case was a young man with a distal clavicular fracture. We were able to diagnose all the patients in the course of their admission incidentally. Conclusion: Emergency room personnel and orthopedic surgeons need to be aware of these cases and benefit from standard personal protection equipment during the evaluation of all orthopedic trauma patients to prevent spreading the disease in the hospitals.
