OBJECTIVE: Operating duties for orthopaedic surgeons decreased during the
COVID-19 pandemic, while Emergency Department (ED) cases surged. Orthopaedic
Walk-In Clinics (OWICs) were implemented to manage urgent musculoskeletal cases.
METHODS: OWICs, organized in three days, were staffed by one orthopaedic surgeon,
one triage person, three medical assistants, and a physician assistant/nurse
practitioner. RESULTS: Musculoskeletal non-emergency ED referrals decreased by
40.6% (p < 0.001) after initiation of the OWICs, allowing optimal use of
resources to address the COVID-19 surge. CONCLUSION: This paper describes the
OWIC model and its preliminary impact. The OWICs could serve as a template for
other orthopaedic departments during the pandemic.
