Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2). This virus uses as receptors the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and the transmembrane protease serine 2, which are also present in cells of the musculoskeletal system. Their presence can explain how coronavirus disease 2019 can cause general symptoms such as myalgia and arthralgia, as well as chronic back pain and articulation-specific symptoms such as shoulder capsulitis and hip and knee osteonecrosis.
