ABSTRACT
CASE We report the case of a 64-year-old man who presented with a late onset of acute periprosthetic joint infection after total knee arthroplasty and a positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 polymerase chain reaction test. We describe our perioperative protocol and challenges for ensuring the safety of healthcare providers while operating on a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-positive patient. CONCLUSIONS:
Given the incredible spread of COVID-19 globally, hospitals should anticipate perioperative protocols for the surgical management of COVID-19-positive patients with concurrent pathology to ensure safety to healthcare providers.
