During the COVID-19 pandemic there has been a re-organisation of care provided by the Trauma and Orthopaedic services in the United Kingdom. The National Health Service England (NHSE) speciality guide forms the primary responses to this pandemic, whilst British Society for the Surgery of Hand (BSSH) provides sub-specialty guidance on management of hand trauma. The orthopaedic community's responsibility of providing a continuity of care for patients has to be balanced with measures to reduce risk of viral transmission (e.g. reduce face to face consultations) and also protect ion of both the patients and staff. We highlight the strategies applied whilst reconfiguration of hand injury management following publication of COVID-19 British Society for the Surgery of Hand and Indian Orthopaedic Association (IOA) guidelines.
在新冠疫情期间，英国创伤与骨科服务所提供的护理进行了重新组织。英国国家医疗服务体系英格兰（NHSE）的专业指南构成了应对这一疫情的主要措施，而英国手外科协会（BSSH）则提供了手部创伤管理的亚专业指导。骨科界为患者提供持续护理的责任，必须与降低病毒传播风险的措施（如减少面对面会诊）以及保护患者和工作人员相平衡。我们着重介绍了在新冠疫情期间英国手外科协会和印度骨科协会（IOA）发布手部损伤管理指南后，重新配置手部损伤管理时所应用的策略。
