Descripción
Sumario:• Good perioperative outcomes seen in patients with COVID-19 that underwent hip fracture repair after 48 hours of admission; • Short cephalomedullary nailing should be strongly considered over long nail for symptomatic COVID-19 patients. • Regional anesthesia is preferred over general anesthesia in COVID-19 patients with hip fracture. • COVID-19 affects the immune system by releasing inflammatory proteins that can cause multiorgan failure. • Surgical repair should be reserved for patients with either mild or moderate COVID-19 infection.
