Pregnancy and vaginal delivery following bilateral total hip replacement.
We report a case of pregnancy with spontaneous vaginal delivery in a patient who had bilateral total hip arthroplasty. Guidelines for management of such patients are discussed, as this is a clinical situation which is likely to be seen more frequently. Orthopaedic consultation is important, if possible with the surgeon who performed the operations.
