Aim The rapid spread of COVID-19 infection around the world has integrated some precautions and restrictions. In this new period, disruptions and re-prioritizations were experienced in medical practices. The aim of this study is to reveal the changes in the outpatient clinics and surgical services in the practice of Orthopedics and Traumatology in Turkey from the perspective of both residents and specialist physicians with a survey study. Materials and Methods In order to evaluate the changes, a survey was prepared which had consisted 42 and 45 questions for residents and specialist working in Turkey, respectively. The survey was published online between December 6, 2020 and January 31, 2021. Data analysis were performed by dividing into 4 subgroups: 1) Demographic information, 2) Changes in internal tasking and working conditions, 3) Variety of services provided and changes in patient applications, 4) Changes in the health care delivery process. Results From all over Turkey 62 residents and 230 specialists participated in the survey. 80.4% (185) of the specialists participating in the study and 96.8% (60) of the residents were working in the pandemic hospital. During the pandemic, it was determined that the working hours of physicians were reduced by almost half, and also there was a decrease in the variety and quantity of elective cases. Furthermore, it was observed that the number of applications to emergency services and outpatients clinics decreased during this period. In addition to increased neglected trauma cases, increment of treatment rejection rates are among the observed results. Conclusion During the pandemic period, it is observed that there are significant disruptions in orthopedics and traumatology health care delivery and training processes. In the light of experiences, it is crucial to prepare health service action plans for other possible pandemic situations or new waves of COVID-19 due to mutations.

This study aimed to systematically review the literature on the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on the orthopedics field by focusing on multiple aspects, including orthopedic training and application, performance, work loading, change of practice, research work, and other psychological factors. Published articles were searched using the PubMed database. Articles were selected in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Of 58 studies published between 1 January 2020 and 1 October 2021, 57 peer-reviewed original articles were included. Nearly 90% of students experienced an impact of the pandemic on application. The impact on training stemmed from redeployment rates of 20.9–23.1%. The rate of emergency or outpatient visits decreased from 18% to 58.6%. The rates of all surgeries or emergency surgeries decreased by 15.6–49.4%, while the rates of elective surgeries decreased by 43.5–100%. The rate of work loading ranged from 33% to 66%. Approximately 50–100% of surgeons had a change of practice. A total of 40.5% of orthopedic surgeons experienced mild psychological pressure. Approximately 64% had stopped research participant recruitment. Most of the included studies were conducted in Europe, followed by Asia and North America. It is suggested orthopedic surgeons prepare more sufficient, flexible, and reservable staffing measures, proper preventive strategies and surgical scheduling algorithms, and set up dedicated venues and equipment for routine telemedicine with staff training for virtual teaching or consultations in case of future impacts on orthopedics.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, countries all over the world suffered from different kinds of service disruption or reduction in the field of orthopedics with or without lockdowns. The consequences include no restriction, partial disruption, overburden of medical services and complete shutdown of clinical practices. This chapter systematically reviews the current published literature on the global impact of COVID-19 on the field of orthopedics through multiple aspects, including educational impact, service volume impact, workload impact, personal practice change, psychological impact, and impact on orthopedic research. The rates of all surgeries and elective surgeries decreased by 15.6%–49.4% and 43.5–100%, respectively. The overall impact was attributable to the staff redeployment in response to the pandemic. Therefore, it is important to maintain a flexible allocation of manpower and more sufficient and reservable staffing measures in case of emergency staff shortages. Orthopedic surgeons are suggested to prepare proper preventive strategies and set up special equipment and places for regular telemedicine for virtual consultations or virtual teaching. It can be expected that the integration of the different experiences of global countries from the impact of COVID-19 may help us to face possible similar impacts in the future.
