DISCLAIMER
Knowledge and best practice about CoViD-19 is rapidly evolving. As new
research and experiences broaden, the understanding and practices may
become different.
Following are suggestions by Indian Orthopaedic Association, considering
various guidelines and publications by various health authorities/associations
across the globe. Surgeons must rely on their experience and knowledge in
evaluating and using this information for patient care. It is the responsibility of
the surgeon, relying on their experience and knowledge of their patient, to
decide the best treatment for their patients and take all safety precautions.
To the fullest extent of law, neither Indian Orthopaedic Association or the
contributors of these guidelines, assume any liability for any injury and /or
damage to person/s or property as a matter of negligence or otherwise from
any method described in the material herein.

DIAGNOSTICS
Real time- Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)-
DIAGNOSTIC
But they have high false negative rates especially if done in early stages.
▪ due to less shedding of virus
▪ improper swab technique
▪ poor swab preservation and transport
▪ technical limitation inherent to test, eg: PCR inhibition)
The sample is obtained either by naso-pharyngeal swab, oropharyngeal swabs taken by lab personnel
or physician following all safety protocols. Alternatively, bronchioalveolar lavages, sputum,
endotracheal tube suctioned fluid can also be used.
Serological kits are although rapid, but only detect CoViD exposure after 7-10
days of exposure, have limited diagnostic capabilities.

(similar to other viral pneumonias) Chest radiograph may be normal](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042411/5f2a18c4f073e37da14b10b7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
RADIOLOGY
Chest radiograph & CT findings are non-specific. (similar to other viral pneumonias)
Chest radiograph may be normal in early disease, less sensitive than CT,
CT scan has proven to be more sensitive even RT-PCR (1) , which may negative in
initial stages. But, CT should not be used as a screening tool for mass population (2).
Typical CT findings include multifocal areas of consolidation and ground glass opacities in
peripheral lung field. Other findings include:
• interlobular septal thickening (which when present with the ground glass opacities lead to
the “crazy paving appearance”)
• Pleural effusion and pneumothorax are rarely seen.

WHY MODIFY ORTHOPAEDIC PRACTICE
DURING COVID 19?
CONTRIBUTE IN COUNTRY HEALTH CARE.
ANTICIPATING HIGH PATIENT LOAD & NEED FOR VENTILATOR BEDS, MINIMIZE USAGE OF
HEALTHCARE RESOURCES
FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING AND HENCE PREVENTING SPREAD
TO AVOID CONTAMINATION OF OTHER PATIENTS, HEALTH CARE WORKERS AND SETUP.
![Page 13: Indian Orthopaedic Association’s Guidelines for ... · RADIOLOGY Chest radiograph & CT findings are non-specific. (similar to other viral pneumonias) Chest radiograph may be normal](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042411/5f2a18c4f073e37da14b10b7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
OPD PRACTICE TIPS
• MINIMIZE OPD PATIENTS
• USE TELEMEDICINE
• SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENTS, AVOID UNNECESSARY
APPOINTMENTS , TALK TO PATIENT ON PHONE BEFORE CALLING
TO OPD/CLINIC
• KEEP WAITING AREA VACANT
• MAINTAIN HAND HYGEINE.
• CALL MINIMAL NECESSARY STAFF
![Page 14: Indian Orthopaedic Association’s Guidelines for ... · RADIOLOGY Chest radiograph & CT findings are non-specific. (similar to other viral pneumonias) Chest radiograph may be normal](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042411/5f2a18c4f073e37da14b10b7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
OPD PRACTICE TIPS
• ONE PATIENT ONE ATTENDANT
• MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING
• PATIENT AND ATTENDANT SHOULD WEAR MASKS
• HEALTH CARE WORKERS SHOULD WEAR HOSPITAL SCRUBS, MASKS
(SURGICAL AT LEAST), GLOVES AND HOSPITAL SHOES
• SHOULD HAVE SEPARATE ASSESSMENT AND PROCEDURE ROOMS
![Page 15: Indian Orthopaedic Association’s Guidelines for ... · RADIOLOGY Chest radiograph & CT findings are non-specific. (similar to other viral pneumonias) Chest radiograph may be normal](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042411/5f2a18c4f073e37da14b10b7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
OPD PRACTICE TIPS
GIVE ONE STOP TREATMENT, MINIMAL FOLLOW UP VISITS
AVOID INTERDEPARTMENTAL REFERRALS, IF POSSIBLE
MINIMUM XRAY/INVESTIGATIONS
FOLLOW UP XRAYS ONLY WHEN YOU EXPECT IT WILL HAVE DRASTIC IMPACT OF PATIENT’S MANAGEMENT
SHIFT C-ARM TO OPD, TO AVOID VISITS TO RADIOLOGY DEPT
USE VIDEOS/ONLINE REHAB TOOLS FOR PATIENT REHAB.
MINIMIZE ADMISSIONS FOR INPATIENT CARE
![Page 16: Indian Orthopaedic Association’s Guidelines for ... · RADIOLOGY Chest radiograph & CT findings are non-specific. (similar to other viral pneumonias) Chest radiograph may be normal](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042411/5f2a18c4f073e37da14b10b7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PATIENT TRIAGING FOR SURGERIES
MINIMIZE ADMISSIONS FOR INPATIENT CARE
AVOID ROUTINE SURGERIES
USE HEALTHCARE RESOURCES WISELY
TRIAGE PATIENTS WITH HIGHER TENDENCY FOR NON OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT
AVOID SURGERIES IN GERIATRIC PATIENTS (SUSCEPTIBLE POPULATION FOR COVID,
CHANCES OF NEED OF VENTILATOR CARE HIGHER IN POST OP PHASE)
![Page 17: Indian Orthopaedic Association’s Guidelines for ... · RADIOLOGY Chest radiograph & CT findings are non-specific.

PATIENT TRIAGING FOR SURGERIES
DO INCISION AND DRAINAGE FOR LOCAL ABSCESSES /

CONSIDERING ASYMPTOMATIC INFECTED PATIENTS CAN SPREAD DISEASE AND THE POTENTIAL RISK OF CONTAMINATION OF HEALTHCARE SETUP & WORKERS, EVERY PATIENT PLANNED FOR INVASIVE/SURGICAL PROCEDURE SHOULD IDEALLY BE TESTED FOR CoViD-19.
IF REGIONAL/INSTITUTIONAL POLICIES, DON’T PERMIT CoViD, ONE SHOULD GET CT CHEST.
IF NONE, TREAT ALL PATIENTS AS COVID POSITIVE WITH FULL PRECAUTIONS
![Page 22: Indian Orthopaedic Association’s Guidelines for ... · RADIOLOGY Chest radiograph & CT findings are non-specific.

PREOPERATIVE WORK UP
American College of Radiology doesn’t recommend use of CT as a
primary screening tool or diagnosis of COVID-19.
But, due to its high sensitivity, immediate reporting, equivalent
costs and ease of access, one can use CT scan to screen the
patients, WHICH ARE PLANNED FOR SURGERY, for any possible
features of incipient pneumonitis, as contamination of precious
health care setup and workers is at stake.

PATIENT SHIFTING
ASK SECURITY TO CLEAR PASSAGE , TO AVOID CONTAMINATION
TO OTHER PATIENTS, WORKERS.
SEPARATE TROLLEY FOR COVID-19/SUSPECTED PATIENTS
USE PPE
PATIENTS SHOULD BE SHIFTED IN OT, NO STAY IN PREOPERATIVE
ROOMS
PATIENT SHOULD WEAR MASK ALL THE TIME.

ANAESTHESIA CONSIDERATIONS
AVOID GENERAL ANAESTHESIA: INTUBATIONS/MECHANICAL
VENTILATIONS- AEROSOL GENERATING PROCEDURES
PREFER REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA (SPINAL/EPIDURAL/BLOCKS/ WIDE
AWAKE ANAESTHESIA)
IF NEEDS GA, PREFERABLY IN SEPARATE INTUBATION/EXTUBATION
ROOM.
ANAESTHESTIST AND TECHNICIAN FULL PPE WHEN INTUBATING

OT CONSIDERATIONS
DEDICATED OT FOR COVID PATIENTS/SUSPECTED PATIENTS
NO LAMINAR FLOW OT
NEGATIVE PRESSURE OT
DOORS CLOSED DURING PROCEDURES
MINIMUM ESSENTIAL OT PERSONNEL
NO ENTRY/EXITS IN BETWEEN PROCEDURE.
![Page 42: Indian Orthopaedic Association’s Guidelines for ... · RADIOLOGY Chest radiograph & CT findings are non-specific.

INTRAOPERATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
MINIMIZE BLEEDING: USE TOURNIQUET/ TRANEXAMIC ACID/ GOOD
HEMOSTASIS
MORE BLOODY FIELD, HIGHER AEROSOL GENERATION
USE CAUTERY MINIMALLY/ LOW SETTINGS/ USE SMOKE EVACUATORS
AVOID PULSE LAVAGES/HIGH PRESSURE LAVAGES; DO GENTLE LAVAGES

INTRAOPERATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
AVOID HIGH POWER INSTRUMENT : DRILLS/
REAMERS/BURR. PREFER OSTEOTOMES,
NIBBLERS, MANUAL REAMERS/DO UNREAMED
NAILINGS

INTRAOPERATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
AVOID BULKY DRESSINGS WHEREVER POSSIBLE, USE
MINIMAL VISIBLE DRESSINGS LIKE OPSITE, TEGADERM ETC.

USE REMOVABLE SPLINTS/ SLABS INSTEAD OF CASTS
CAST REMOVAL INVOLVES HIGHER CHANCES OF PATIENT CONTACT, EASIER HOME
BASED MANAGEMENT
