Résumé
Amid the current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), orthopaedic surgery was one of the fewer specialties that remained active managing emergent and urgent orthopaedic and trauma cases. On the other hand, with the continued spread of this pandemic and its associated socioeconomic confinement and unpredictability of the pandemic curve; many health care facilities were forced into halting all elective and non-urgent activities including orthopaedic specialties. This in part was to help in reallocation of required resources and focusing on the proper management of COVID-19 patients, and to prevent the transmission of infection among health care workers and patients. In this article we analyzed developments and recommendations of international reports about the current outbreak and its impact on the practice of orthopaedic surgery. Our aim was to provide comprehensive and easy guidelines for the management of urgent and emergent cases in hot zones and for the process of returning to usual orthopaedic work flow in a balanced strategy to assure safe practice and providing quality care without the risk of exhausting institutional resources or the risk of COVID- 19 transmission among health care workers or patients.
