Yes, it is possible to develop a staph infection following knee surgery. Staphylococcus bacteria can enter the body through surgical incisions or open wounds, particularly if proper sterile techniques are not followed during the procedure. Factors such as the patient's overall health, the surgical environment, and postoperative care can influence the risk of infection. It's essential to follow your surgeon's instructions for care after surgery to minimize this risk.
