Ureaplasma urealyticum Infection in Total Hip Arthroplasty Leading to Revision

Abstract We describe an infection with Ureaplasma urealyticum causing rapid loosening of a cemented total hip arthroplasty. When reviewing the literature we found that no such case has been reported previously. Taking intraoperative cultures for U urealyticum during revision surgery is not a standar...

Zusammenfassung:	Abstract We describe an infection with Ureaplasma urealyticum causing rapid loosening of a cemented total hip arthroplasty.

In cases with rapid, presumed aseptic, loosening of a total hip arthroplasty, an infection with U urealyticum should be considered.
