Around 160,000 joint replacement surgeries lost by COVID-19 pandemic, study finds – – University of Bristol – All news
Nearly nine months of joint replacement surgery has been lost – around 160,000 fewer operations – since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new study led by the University of Bristol has found. The research suggests returning to pre-pandemic levels will not tackle the backlog, and even with rapid expansion, it will take many years, if not decades, to fix this joint replacement crisis.
