The hardware, being an inanimate object, cannot become infected. Rather, it becomes coated with bacteria and may secondarily infect its associated bone.
If an infection is going to show itself, this is usually when it is seen. Infections can have many signs and symptoms such as fever, chills, redness, swelling and infectious discharge either directly at the wound site or in the surrounding area. If this occurs, the patient needs to contact their surgeon immediately.

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the uncommon, but serious, complications that can occur after having a prosthetic joint installed. It's the result of bacterial infection and growth around the prosthetic joint. This leads to tissue and joint damage, pain, and decreased joint function.
Imaging Studies. The main imaging method used in diagnosing joint prosthesis infections is plain radiography. Plain radiographs are particularly useful compared to prior films.
Initiation of Infection. The majority of PJIs occurring within 1 year of surgery are initiated through the introduction of microorganisms at the time of surgery. This can occur through either direct contact or aerosolized contamination of the prosthesis or periprosthetic tissue.
