Description
Xiong Wang and co-authors report a hard case of infection after knee surgery. Their 2023 case report concerns a woman aged 68 whose kneecap was fixed with wires after a fall. Days after she went home, the wound grew red and swollen and began to leak.
Dressings and pills failed, so she returned to hospital for cleaning surgery and steady washing of the joint. Tests named the germ, and drugs were picked to match it. Swelling and a skin reaction to iodine slowed the course, and she declined one more operation. A month of drugs plus exercise at home cleared the infection. Her knee worked well again, the authors report.
