Interestingly, this data revealed the willingness of orthopedic surgeons 30(39%) to take care of COVID-19 positive patients and support their colleagues in intensive care units, if needed. Concerning their orthopedic practice, mostly 35(45.5%) stopped planned surgeries and 20(26%) reported decrease in emergency surgeries during pandemic, this might be due to decrease in road traffic accident notified by study participant 24(31.2%).

They nevertheless have to play an important role in the face of an increasing psycological and emotional stress which comes from working in a post COVID era . The dread of getting infected while treating and operating on patients and the sinking feeling of spreading the contagion to their loved ones has put a massive toll on the emotional well being of our orthopedic community and needs to be addressed through open and fair discussion . So during these trying times, we need to rise to the occasion and work as a close knitted team to overcome every obstacle encountered in the face of COVID-19 pandemic. </sec>" @default.
