But a significant percentage also said they don’t ever anticipate returning to their pre-pandemic income.

Here is the breakdown of when orthopedic surgeons think they’ll hit income levels comparable to 2019:

1. In the next year: 41 percent
2. In two to three years: 43 percent
3. In the next four to five years: 4 percent
4. Never hit pre-COVID-19 income: 12 percent
