Septic Hip Dislocation Secondary to Tuberculosis

Abstract

Tuberculosis rages an endemic disease in developing countries; hence it is a real public health problem. Among the forms of extra pulmonary tuberculosis, tuberculosis of the hip is second to spine tuberculosis. Its late diagnosisis a source of complications with anatomical and functional sequelae. The hip dislocation remains a severe form of Tuberculous Coxitis. We report the case of 37-year-old patient with septic hip dislocation secondary to late diagnosed hip tuberculosis. This delayed diagnosis is at the main determinant of severe disabling functional sequelae.
