EditorialReopening phase in Covid19 pandemic and it's changes for Orthopaedic Surgeons - A German perspective.
Covid-19 is affecting our societies for more than just one, two or three months, maybe for even longer depending on where we live. In Germany, where I am located we have meanwhile ended the lockdown phase and started reopening. In this Editorial, I will try to describe the different aspects of the changes for an Orthopaedic Surgeon in this second phase of reopening. ⋯ Protests and conspiracy theories are numerous and it is our mission as educated scientists to inform as many people around us as possible about the facts. Overall, it has to be stated, that all parts of our lives as Orthopaedic Surgeons remain affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Life became better in a lot of ways; however, it is still a long way back to normal and we need to be patient.
