Abstract:
Conversion of a hip arthrodesis to a total joint arthroplasty is an uncommon procedure compared to the standard or revision total hip replacement. In this report, two illustrative cases are presented in which conversion to a total joint arthroplasty was performed, and a review of the literature for indications, complications, contraindications, and outcomes of this procedure is provided.
