Ankylosing spondylitis in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty increases the risk of medical and implant-related complications: a case control analysis
Ankylosing spondylitis in patients undergoing THA is associated with significant risk of medical and implant complications, as well as fall risk, length of stay, and readmission rates. These findings may allow orthopaedic surgeons to be more attentive in identifying those patients at risk and allow for more educated patient counseling and perioperative planning.
