I wonder if a scope wouldn’t make sense. It the infection is colonized on the apparatus itself and without blood supply, oral or IV won’t touch it.
A hip is different that a disc and I have no idea how they could gain visual access. An artificial disc is small - a hip is large. So I don’t know.

Are you getting sicker?
