Abstract
This study presents early experience of total joint replacement restarting elective orthopaedic services after COVID-19. Surgery was carried in in four different sites which were labelled as green zones. All patients were consented appropriately for their operations in context of the COVID19 pandemic. The findings suggested that elective orthopaedics have significant mortality risk. We presented 3 months results of joint replacements after resumption of elective services and the study concluded that the patient did not contract COVID-19.
