Ángel, from Barcelona, had his knee joint replaced with a metallic prosthesis. At first, it seemed the routine operation went well – but complications quickly became obvious.
“Three to four days after the surgery, the knee didn’t improve – it got worse: bad inflammation, pus, black spots around the wound. The doctors found it had got infected during the implantation of the prosthesis,” Angel told Euronews.
