The feasibility of outpatient conversion and revision hip arthroplasty in selected patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Outpatient revision hip arthroplasty is safe in selected patients undergoing minor or partial revisions. Presence of medical comorbidities was not associated with risk of complications. Medical optimisation and a multimodal programme to mitigate risk of blood loss and reduce narcotic need facilitate the safe performance of arthroplasty in an outpatient setting.
