Can you reverse a hip girdlestone procedure? meaning trying to put back the hip prosthesis after more than a year from the girdlstone procedure.

Yes it is possible: If an artificial total hip is removed, the patient is left with what is known as a girdlestone arthroplasty. With a girdlestone, the muscles around the affected hip will contract and the leg will shorten. In the hands of an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in hip replacement and revision surgery, a new hip can be inserted with specially designed revision prostheses.

Yes: The longer you wait the more challenging. If the girdlestone was for an infection, be sure the infection is cleared. Bone quality can sometimes be a problem.
