Many patients undergo joint transplant operations after accidents or as a result of damage to some of the body's joints with age, but these operations may not succeed sometimes.
On the subject, the Russian doctor and orthopedic specialist, Staslav Golev, said: “When some people undergo joint transplant operations, their bodies do not accept the new artificial joints, and the joint does not integrate into the body in the desired manner sometimes, and here the doctor’s task is to search for the reason.”
He added: “Chronic infection may prevent the joint from adapting inside the body, and this is one of the reasons that prevents the success of this type of operation, so doctors have learned how to deal with this problem, and are now implanting temporary joints in the patient’s body, and prescribing him anti-inflammatory medications for a long period.” ".
Many people are sometimes exposed to infections in the body after artificial joint implantation operations, and the cause of these infections may be the exposure of the joint to bacteria during surgery, or the bacteria reaching the wound shortly after surgery. There may also be a bacterial infection in the body when undergoing surgery, and these may be transmitted. Infection through the blood into the artificial joint, causing inflammation.
Treating prosthetic joint inflammation usually takes long periods of time, and sometimes doctors are forced to remove the joint and replace it with another joint, or remove parts of it while scraping out the inflammation and infected tissues around it. In many cases, staphylococcal bacteria are the cause of these infections.
