Abstract
|
|
|
Although the incidence of tuberculous arthritis of the hip has decreased with improvement of hygiene, preventive measures, and chemotherapy, there remain many patients having deformities and degenerative arthritis of the joints as the
siqualae of it.
Total hip arthroplasty has been used with good functional result, and most patients who were free of tuberculous symptoms for decades have be performed total hip arthroplasty without additional antituberculous medication preoperatively
or
postoperatively.
We report two cases of reactivation of tuberculosis following THA, and discuss the antituberculos medication for these patients.
