Well, they didn't say IE can't happen after a dental procedure. They
argued that it's been known to happen even after prophylaxis is given
and that the risk of anaphylaxis is greater.
We haven't used ABs for hip replacements for years now.

Most of the orthopedists ask for antibiotic px at least for the first
two years after a total joint replacement.

Maybe not all total joint replacements ... or maybe not a number of
years ago. In 1992, when I had two (2) total joint replacements... I
was not put on an extended antibiotic treatment.

P.S. However, I should have mentioned that the "recovery period" was
*two years*.

P.P.S. Also, as my response applies to the actual subject line: this
surgery was done in the USA not the UK.
