Does it happen that people get revisions a lot because of infection?
Revisions do have a higher % of infection rate but I think it says double but my Surgeon has around a 1% infection rate so it would be double that so 2%. And agin increases with each surgery. Dr and I both scratching our head as to what might have caused my infections. I often say I just drew the short straw. So far with my new implant I’m doing great. I’m at 3 weeks and 2 days and all is totally clear. Further than I made it with previous ones. If I had it to do all over again I would do the same thing. I feel it’s a risk well worth the benefits. All surgeries have a possibility of infection and I’ve had 13 in my life and this is the first time I’ve gotten an infection. Never know. I might have been on the edge of being sick when it took place or any other of many contractors.
