Total hip arthroplasty (THA) effectively treats hip tuberculosis, improving patient quality of life. Combined with multidrug antituberculosis therapy, THA offers favorable outcomes and low complication rates for hip joint destruction.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Infectious Diseases
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Hip joint tuberculosis causes severe destruction and impacts quality of life.
- Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a key treatment for hip joint diseases.
- Recent applications of THA for hip tuberculosis show promising results.
Conclusions:
- Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is effective for tubercular hip arthritis, significantly improving quality of life.
- Preoperative and postoperative antituberculosis therapy (ATT) is crucial, with 90% of studies recommending it.
- Two-stage surgery is viable for high-risk patients; long-term multidrug ATT is vital for preventing reactivation.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
