    Document: The Asia-Pacific region countries, with their large and socioeconomically diverse populations and infrastructures, were amongst the earliest to have to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the disease is not one of surgical trauma, its effects on orthopaedic injuries have been significant. Medical systems had to adapt to better focus on patients with a highly communicable disease, while continuing to provide essential services. Even though many countries saw a decrease in traumatic injuries during the initial periods, orthopaedic trauma services nevertheless had to adapt accordingly to system-wide organizational changes. While each country took their individual approaches to address the pandemic, there were also consistencies in how musculoskeletal injuries and conditions were handled during these early stages of the pandemic. This article reviews those early management approaches to musculoskeletal injury care during the COVID-19 pandemic in different countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region following the initial outbreak in China: Australia, South Korea, and Japan.
