Clinical case of polymicrobial and multidrug-resistant posttraumatic chronic hip infection treatment
A 40-year-old man, after a left acetabular fracture, had eight surgeries, suffered from chronic multidrug-resistant infection with fistula, and underwent multi-stage hip revision surgery with spacer exchange and reconstruction, combined with systemic and intra-articular antibiotic therapy. He remained infection-free at 3.5-year follow-up.
