Abstract EN
A case report of a 65-year-old female with a history of right total hip arthroplasty (THA) in 2007 and left THA in 2009 was presented.
She consulted with our institution for the first time, on December 2013, for right hip pain and fistula on the THA incision.
It was managed as a chronic infection, so a two-stage revision was performed.
First-time intraoperative cultures were positive for Staphylococcus aureus (3/5) and Proteus mirabilis (2/5).
Three weeks after the second half of the review, it evolved with acute fever and pain in relation to right hip.
No antibiotics were used, arthrocentesis was performed, and a coagulase-negative staphylococci multisensible was isolated at the 5th day.
Since the germ was different from the first revision, it was decided to perform a one-stage revision.
One year after the first review, the patient has no local signs of infection and presents ESV and RPC in normal limits.
The indication and management of periprosthetic infections are discussed.
