In Italy we are experiencing a high number of COVID-19 deaths among doctors. Many surgeons feel exposed to a high risk of contagion, and the supply of PPE is not always adequate in all hospitals [21]. Thanks to the organization and protocols described above, the health workers of our unit are provided with all the necessary PPE. In addition, since we enabled these measures, we have not recorded new cases of infection among doctors and nurses in orthopedic wards and operating rooms.
