Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, it can be inflammatory arthritis and may need serum uric acid levels as well as may need orthopedic surgeon evaluation to check for an implant related infection. Radiographic evaluation of the bones and joints may also be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin
