The recent spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV2)
and its associated coronavirus disease has gripped the entire international
community and has caused widespread public health concerns due to the
unavailability of treatment to this deadly disease. The COVID -19 has affected
healthcare workers badly in the world with front line health care providers has a
mortality rate of 1.4%. But in countries like Italy, it has gone up to 9%. To
this date, there are no universal guidelines for musculoskeletal (MSK) care in
the face of the coronavirus pandemic. Health care professionals, including
orthopedic surgeons may encounter patients with suspected or confirmed COVID -19
infections and will have to act diligently not only to provide care but at the
same time to prevent the spread of infection. During the lockdown period in INDIA
we collected data of patients who came to an emergency in our hospital. Out of 81
patients, 40 patients were of pediatric trauma with a percentage of 49% making it
highly significant. Thus, in this article, we tried to summarize current
recommendations and our institutional guidelines for diagnosing and managing a
pediatric orthopedic patient in the COVID-19 pandemic.
