Coughing up green mucus is always a reason to contact your health care professional on an urgent basis for an examination, and especially if it is accompanied by fever. It usually indicates that there is infection in your lungs or bronchial tubes. Infections can spread from one body system to another, so it is possible that a staph infection spread from your joint to your blood stream and has infected other organs, but it may also be either coincidental or your body and immune system may be negatively impacted by your recent (assumed) surgery and staph infection. Don't hesitate to contact your health care professional (or the orthopedic surgeon if the procedure was very recent).

It takes a long time for the lung tissue to heal after pneumonia. The white mucus is not a symptom of infection but rather the healing process. If the mucous changes to more yellow or green then you may want to consult your doctor.
