Abstract
The timing surgical treatment of a hip fracture on a patient with Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) related pneumonia is determined based on the general condition of the patient and the circumstance of active disease in the lung. The common rule of earlier surgery is better motto, which is valid under normal conditions, can be stretched during the pandemic period, especially if the patient is infected with COVID-19. However, about the timing of surgery, attention should be paid to the patient’s active lung infection condition in order to prevent facilitating the spread of the virus in the lung during intubation.
