Can a rhino virus cause infection in knee replacement?

Rhinoviruses, which are commonly known as the cause of the common cold, are not the direct cause of infections in knee replacements. Knee replacement infections are typically caused by bacteria, not viruses. While rhinoviruses can cause respiratory infections, they do not typically spread to other parts of the body, such as the knee joint, and cause infections in knee replacements. Bacteria, on the other hand, can enter the body through various means, including during the surgery or through the bloodstream, and cause infections in the knee joint or surrounding tissues.
