What is an Infected Hip Replacement?
An infected hip replacement, also known as Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI), occurs when bacteria affect the artificial hip joint and surrounding tissues.
This is a serious complication that requires timely treatment, as infections around implants do not usually heal with antibiotics alone.
Signs of Infection After Hip Replacement
- Persistent or increasing hip pain
- Swelling and redness
- Warmth around the joint
- Discharge (pus) from the wound
- Difficulty walking
Early diagnosis is crucial to avoid complications and improve success rates.
Why Revision Hip Replacement is Required
Infections form a protective layer called biofilm over the implant, making antibiotics ineffective.
To completely remove infection, the artificial joint often needs to be replaced through revision hip replacement surgery.
