National Societies and COVID:

Impact on Patients & Orthopaedic Surgeons in Training

An EFORT Survey to collect data on the effect of the Covid pandemic 

Dear colleague,

EFORT endeavours to be your advocate within the arena of European healthcare and policies.

For that reason it is important we have data on the effect of the Covid pandemic on both, elective orthopaedic and trauma surgical interventions. With these data we can alert the EU and also the non-EU institutions related to the impact of Covid on musculoskeletal care and so to our patients.

Therefore we invite you to take this survey which will not take more than 5 minutes to complete, helping us with an impact analysis on orthopaedic and trauma care.

Thank you for your participation in this important matter!

Best wishes,

Prof. Rob Nelissen • Prof. Theo Karachalios Mr. David Limb

Dr. Filipe Santos • Prof. Enrique Gómez Barrena
