Surgical Time and Complication Risk in Conversion Total Hip Arthroplasty With Implant Removal: Finding an Optimal Surgical Duration
Conversion THA cases involving implant removal that are longer than 114 minutes are associated with higher complication rates and revision surgeries. Conversion THA requiring implant removal of cephalomedullary nails or dynamic hip screw plates were predictors for longer surgical times. Improved surgical planning and perioperative patient optimization may be viable options to limit surgical times. This information can be used to counsel patients on the risk of complications and the possibility of a staged procedure if appropriate.
