Subtrochanteric fracture in a near term pregnant female in the back drop of COVID-19 pandemic: A triple trouble pregnant with peril all along

Outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus was first reported in Wuhan province in China. By February all hell broke loose in Europe and other continents. Spread of virus in India with 1.38 billion population posed an unprecedented challenge to its health care system. We hereby report a rare case of subtrochanteric fracture of femur in a near term (35 weeks) pregnant female who was treated at our tertiary care center in the times of Covid-19. Combination of pregnancy and Subtrochanteric femoral fracture is a double trouble with high morbidity and mortality and in time of Corona pandemic it became a unique challenge where two lives were at risk. Here we share our experience of dealing this case with multidisciplinary approach and sticking to our clinical sense as literature for Covid-19 pandemic is barely 4 months old and devoid of any guideline for such cases so far.
