| Abstrakt: | This case study describes a severe and rare complication following the placement of a total hip prosthesis in a 59-year-old woman. During rehabilitation, a physiotherapist incorporated dry needling alongside conventional exercises. A large ulcer developed near the surgical scar, attributed to pyoderma gangrenosum. The initiation of appropriate treatment led to a successful recovery, with no discernible impact on the current functional status. This case report aims to highlight the lack of empirical support for the use of dry needling in the post-prosthesis surgery rehabilitation process and emphasizes the associated inherent risks.
