Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) performed ~ 3 months after the prosthesis explantation, showing a large ilio-psoas muscle collection (47 × 56 mm) communicating with numerous periprosthetic collections of the left hip (panel A). A second PET-CT was performed in June 2014, after the third surgical procedures and at ~ 6 month of rifampin and ofloxacin combination therapy, showing no persistent inflammatory process of the left hip and thigh (panel B)
