Abstract :

By the end of 2019, a global pandemic virus strikes the world and until the present moment, the issue is not solved. The COVID-19 caused millions of hospitalizations, deaths, and collapsed entire health care systems around the globe. All kinds of elective surgeries were postponed or suspended, for some conditions such as pediatric spinal deformities like Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) this delay can cause severe progression of the disease leading to poorer results in surgical treatment. As vaccination progresses, surgeons and health care managers must prepare for a safe and responsible return searching for ways to reduce this collateral damage.
