Quantifying the Backlog of Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Cases: Predicting the Impact of COVID-19	2020-11-04		.txt	text/plain	3189	186	56	QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: To help strategize an effective return to elective orthopedic surgery, we aimed to quantify the volume of THA and TKA cases delayed across the USA and estimate the time required to care for these patients when non-urgent surgery resumes. The purpose of this study is to estimate the volume of delayed THA and TKA procedures resulting from COVID-19 related bans on elective surgery and to project the time it will require to catch up on care for delayed patients as hospitals resume elective procedures. This was defined as number of months needed to surgically manage patients who had surgery delayed by COVID-19, in addition to the baseline procedural volume that would have been expected without the occurrence of the pandemic. Our multi-scenario, adaptable model offers projections of the non-urgent THA and TKA surgical volume postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.	./cache/cord-321089-x85tg8g5.txt	./txt/cord-321089-x85tg8g5.txt
