Abstract:
This study gauged patient perspectives regarding elective joint arthroplasty during the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligible patients undergoing consultation for primary hip or knee arthroplasty received a survey with questions regarding opinions towards COVID-19 and on undergoing elective procedures during the pandemic. Of the 112 respondents, 78% believed that their condition warranted surgery despite COVID-19 circumstances. There were no differences in desire for surgery based on age, smoking history or comorbidities. Patients older than 65 years were significantly more concerned with skilled nursing facility placement. This survey suggests that the majority of patients are comfortable pursuing elective joint arthroplasty despite the pandemic.
