Abstract

The transition from shutdown of elective orthopaedic services to the resumption of pre-COVID- 19 activity presents many challenges. These include concerns about patient safety, staff safety, and the viability of health economies. Careful planning is necessary to allow patients to benefit from orthopaedic care in a safe and sustainable manner.
