Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgeries are rapidly increasing due to an aging population, leading to an increase in degenerative hip osteoarthritis. However, 1% of these patients go through prosthetic joint infection (PJI), which gives rise to implant failure with prolonged periods of patient incapacitation and higher mortality risk.
Case Report: In this article, we report an unusual case of a 62-year-old male who developed a PJI 7 months after a THA.

The subject presented with long-standing bilateral groin discomfort and was initially evaluated using clinical examination and CT imaging, which diagnosed bilateral inguinal hernias but did not initially detect cryptorchidism.
