The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pelvic trauma surgery in Poland. This study comprises 132 consecutive patients admitted for pelvic fracture surgery from 2019 to 2022, separating them into 2 groups; pre-COVID (1 year before the outbreak of pandemic - 2019) and COVID period (in Poland 2020-2022). The data was collected respectively in a single trauma center. Demographic data was collected, additionally, the type of fracture according to Young-Burgess and Letournel-Judet classification system, date of the injury and surgery, the surgical approach and stabilization methods, mechanism of trauma, concomitant injuries, body mass index (BMI), blood transfusions, number of days spent in the hospital, and surgery duration. Patients during the pandemic had statistically significantly shorter duration of hospital stay, and lesser amount of blood units transfused comparing to the non- pandemic group, 4.50 days vs. 6.90 days (p
