  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 We report the case of a 87-year-old woman who had previously undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA) and developed a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection after surgical treatment of a femoral fracture below the femoral prosthesis. Ultimately total femur replacement was performed, and the patient has made satisfactory progress.

 Because of severe loss of bone substance and unacceptable leg-length discrepancy, disarticulation of the infected hip was initially suggested to the patient to prevent recurrence of the infection, but, it was refused. Total femur replacement can be considered in cases with severe loss of bone substance and long-term infection, but long-term follow-up is necessary.
