Unfortunately many infections are part of the risk of surgery including and especially in replacement surgeries. Pseudomonas is from my reading being found in study in 25 percent of replacement surgeries
You need another medical opinion on whether anything can be done and if anything wrong with the surgery or hardware then if still questions get your records and meet with a pi lawyer as without the records it's impossible to evaluate
