Core Tip	Conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a challenging procedure that requires more resources both intraoperatively and postoperatively than primary THA. As such, these procedures should be planned to anticipate the greater needs in the operating room, and for in-patient and follow-up care. Patients undergoing conversion THA should not be likened to patients undergoing primary THA when determining risk stratification and reimbursement rates. We suggest that conversion THA be reclassified in the same group with revision THA as a step towards better allocation of hospital resources.
