RECOMMENDATION: Surgical alternatives to hip disarticulation include resection arthroplasty when reconstruction of the joint with the use of a megaprosthesis is not possible. Hip disarticulation should be reserved for patients with systemic sepsis and/or extreme soft tissue infections of the extremity, in whom the surgery is performed as part of a life-saving procedure.
