Overview

Case report reveals functional recovery after hip arthroplasty and targeted rehabilitation in advanced hip tuberculosis, highlighting the role of infection clearance prior to surgery.

Key Points

  • To report the clinical management, surgical intervention, and functional outcomes of total hip arthroplasty combined with structured rehabilitation in a patient with advanced hip tuberculosis.
  • Treated a 57-year-old female with biopsy-confirmed Mycobacterium tuberculosis using antitubercular therapy until inflammatory markers normalized.
  • Performed total hip arthroplasty via an anterolateral approach followed by an individualized exercise-based postoperative rehabilitation program.
  • Harris Hip Score improved from 56 to 81 (+44.6%) and pain intensity on the Visual Analogue Scale decreased from 7/10 to 2/10 (-71.4%).
  • Hip flexion increased from 25° to 55°, hip abduction increased from 15° to 40°, and key muscle strength improved from 2/5 to 4+/5 with no infection recurrence or postoperative complications.
