This type of procedure is known as conversion arthroplasty (cTHA or cTKA) and has a higher risk of complications. The rates of unexpected positive cultures (UPC) and the risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) compared to primary arthroplasty is unclear. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate rates of Unexpected Positive Cultures (UPC) in a series of conversion arthroplasty patients. The main questions to answer are: 1. Are the patients with conversion arthroplasties more susceptible to UPC than other causes of revision arthroplasties? 2. Are the conversion patients with UPC more susceptible to developing PJI?</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This was a retrospective review of patients submitted to cTHA and cTKA from January 2012 to September 2018.
