All first metatarsophalangeal joint implants used at Sheridan Park Hospital from 1979 through 1984 were evaluated for postoperative infection and subsequent implant removal. Thirteen (1.3%) of 929 implants used were removed due to infection. Antibiotic prophylaxis was not determined to be necessary to avoid this complication. However, in all cases in which prophylaxis was used, no infection occurred.
对1979年至1984年在谢里登公园医院使用的所有第一跖趾关节植入物进行了术后感染及随后植入物取出情况的评估。929个使用的植入物中有13个（1.3%）因感染而被取出。未确定抗生素预防对于避免这种并发症是必要的。然而，在所有使用了预防措施的病例中，均未发生感染。
