description INTRODUCTION: Yersinia enterocolitica(YE) is a common cause of gastroenteritis but rarely causes infection of prosthetic joints. Only one case report of YE infection after total hip arthroplasty and three cases after total knee arthroplasty have been published in English literature. CASE REPORT: We report a case of YE arthritis occurred on a prosthetic hip joint in 62-year-old female 13 months postoperatively. This infection was successfully treated without revision arthroplasty, and the patient is asymptomatic at 24 months follow-up. CONCLUSION: This case and previous reports suggest that YE infection of prosthetic joint is well treated with debridement and may not require the removal of implants.
