AbstractWe report a patient with a subtrochanteric fracture, for whom internal fixation failed and a prosthetic joint replacement was complicated by a local reactivation of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. After hip replacement with revision and adequate medical therapy, a full recovery was attained without the necessity of removing the artificial joint.
