Abstract
The co-existence of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is extremely rare, and the case of such a patient undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) has never been reported. We present a case report of a 39-year-old male with co-existing AS and SCD who underwent staged bilateral THA with good clinical and radiographic outcomes at 5 years follow-up. Co-existing AS and SCD can present unique intraoperative surgical challenges in patients undergoing THA as seen in our patient, and the establishment of perioperative management guidelines may help prevent complications. Keywords: ankylosing spondylitis; sickle cell disease (SCD); total hip arthroplasty (THA); hip.
