Infections occur in a small percentage of patients undergoing hip resurfacing surgery. Unfortunately, infections can occur even when every effort is made to prevent them.
The following steps may help to minimize the risk of post-operative infections:
- Closely monitor the incision and immediately report signs of redness, swelling, tenderness, drainage, foul odor, increasing pain or persistent fever.
- Always wash your hands before and after handling your incision site, especially when the sutures are still in place.
