The orthopedic community has seen the COVID-19 pandemic decimate elective surgical volumes in most geographies. Patients and essential workers, such as health care providers, remain rightfully concerned about how to appropriately begin to return to work and community activity in a safe and responsible manner. Many believe that testing for the presence of antibodies on a widespread scale could help drive evidence-based decision-making, both on an individual and societal scale. Much information, and an equal amount of misinformation, has been produced on antibody testing. Education about the role and science of such testing is critically important for programs to be effectively understood and managed.
骨科领域已经看到，在大多数地区，COVID-19 大流行使择期手术量大幅减少。患者和基本工作人员（如医疗保健提供者）仍然非常关注如何以安全和负责任的方式重新开始工作和参与社区活动。许多人认为，广泛进行抗体检测可以帮助在个人和社会层面做出基于证据的决策。关于抗体检测，已经产生了大量的信息和同样多的错误信息。对这种检测的作用和科学进行教育对于有效理解和管理相关项目至关重要。
