Abstract

During the period of 2022 and 2023, 10 patients with early infection following joint arthroplasty were admitted to the Clinic of Orthopedics and Traumatology at Sofiamed. Among them were 8 women and 3 men, with an average age of 69 years. All patients were readmitted between 18-21 days after the primary joint arthroplasty. Laboratory and microbiological investigations were conducted for all patients, followed by surgical intervention and prolonged antibiotic therapy. At a mean follow-up of 1 year and 2 months, all patients showed excellent results, except for one who died and one who was lost to follow-up.
