You need some real expert advice there, if you're in the UK i would advise RNOH Stanmore. They have sorted out my shattered ceramic brilliantly. See your GP and get referred.

Hi Theresa I would be definitely asking for a second opinion regarding being told you need amputation for hip infection, they can remove the prosthetic and put you an antibiotic spacer and put you on antibiotics as well to give it time be gone from your body, amputation should not be remotely considered for this unless it's progressed to gangrene and if it had you wouldn't be they are going to it would be they have.
So get yourself a new orthopaedic surgeon, also the problem with emergency surgery compared to prearranged is that if it's scheduled surgery you would be screened for many things including something as trivial as athletes foot and any water or yeast infections which would probably put a stop to your surgery till it was treated and cleared.
The hospital you are possibly going to sue wouldn't have been able to screen you with cultures etc so it's possible you had an unknown yeast infection, not saying you definitely did but it's possible
