In our patient, neither bacteremia nor infectious endocarditis was reported, as well as previous oral surgery.

A three\u2010stage surgery was performed based on surgical debridement and antibiotic\u2010cemented spacer implant, antibiotic\u2010cemented spacer renewal, spacer removal, and prosthesis implantation. Throughout the entire period, the patient received antibiotic therapy with doxycycline and cotrimoxazole. At the final follow\u2010up, the patient was infection\u2010free, but a poor hip function was reported.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>G. adiacens<\/jats:italic>\n                      is rarely associated with bone osteomyelitis, probably because of the difficulty in culture isolation that might lead to misdiagnosis, especially in cases of polymicrobial infection.
