[Periprosthetic hip-TEP infections after dental procedures : Maybe an indication for antibiotic treatment after all?]

Abstract

Periprosthetic infections are hazardous complications. After dental procedures, an antibiotic prophylaxis or treatment is actually not recommended according to the current guidelines. In the present work, a case of a hematogenous late infection after primary total hip arthroplasty due to a prior dental procedure is presented. Hereby, the question evolves as to whether in selected cases an antibiotic prophylaxis or treatment might be indicated at the site of dental procedures.
