Abstract
The authors report a case history of a diabetic woman requiring revision hip arthroplasty of a Charnley total hip prosthesis that was infected with Pasteurella multocida. The infection of the loose prosthesis followed a cat bite to the same leg. Advice is given on the management of patients with infection following animal inoculations, and the subject of increased risk with a loose prosthesis is discussed.
