Main Article Content
Abstract
The current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a large number of measures at the individual and global levels, seriously affecting healthcare systems. Although COVID-19 does not directly involve specialists in Orthopedics, we are nevertheless compelled to implement preventive hospital measures aimed at reducing the chances of infection during our specific procedures. This literature review aims to provide basic dynamic information on how health care specialists should act in surgical areas when facing suspicious/confirmed cases of COVID-19. We advocate the design of updated workflow processes for patient care before, during and after surgery.
