The outbreak of a novel coronavirus, referred to as coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), with its sentinel case in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, has spread rapidly around the globe. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a worldwide pandemic, which led to most countries implementing social distancing protocols. Most non-essential medical practices have been halted to direct resources to the facilities caring for patients with COVID infection. The pediatric orthopaedic practice is in a unique position, with the treatment of many conditions being treated by pediatric orthopedists being non-emergent, but time-sensitive. We hereby review the current literature and guidelines surrounding the practice change around the world and give recommendations regarding the practice of pediatric orthopaedics during the COVID pandemic.
一种新型冠状病毒的爆发，即冠状病毒病-19（COVID-19），于2019年12月在中国武汉出现首例病例，并迅速在全球蔓延。2020年3月11日，世界卫生组织（WHO）宣布COVID-19为全球大流行疾病，这导致大多数国家实施社交距离协议。大多数非必要的医疗活动已被暂停，以便将资源导向照顾COVID感染患者的医疗机构。小儿骨科的情况较为特殊，小儿骨科医生治疗的许多病症并非紧急情况，但具有时间敏感性。我们在此回顾当前围绕全球实践变化的文献和指南，并给出在COVID大流行期间小儿骨科实践的建议。
