Complete clinical eradication was achieved following debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention for an acute Streptococcus canis prosthetic joint infection.
Intravenous ceftriaxone for 8 weeks maintained complete clinical remission at 1-year follow-up, normalizing serum C-reactive protein and maintaining stable radiographs.
Case report findings highlight canine contact as an underrecognized transmission vector, supporting debridement and implant retention for revision total knee arthroplasty.
