description Reinstating elective hip and knee arthroplasty services presents significant challenges. We need to be honest about the scale of the obstacles ahead and realise that the health challenges and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are potentially devastating.

These decisions should be based on the existing evidence-base, reliable data, the recommendations of experts, and regional circumstances.
