Is the infection in the knee joint? If so, they may need to remove it to clear the infection; a culture should have been done to determine the organism so the appropriate antibiotics are given but sometimes antibiotics need help by removing the implant.

Make sure there's an Infectious Diseases specialist involved in his care.
