She presented 12\u2009weeks postoperatively with pain, swelling, and radiographic changes concerning for PJI despite normal inflammatory markers. Implant explantation with debridement was performed, and intraoperative cultures grew\n                      <jats:italic>Fusarium<\/jats:italic>\n                      species. Initial oral voriconazole was insufficient, necessitating readmission for intravenous liposomal amphotericin B and oral posaconazole. Thirty-nine days after completing her 6-month antifungal course, she underwent arthrodesis, which later failed, requiring revision with iliac crest autograft and dorsal plate fixation. At latest follow-up, she remained pain-free with radiographic union and no recurrent infection.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Based on available literature, this represents the first reported case of\n                      <jats:italic>Fusarium<\/jats:italic>\n                      PJI following silicone arthroplasty of the hand.
