Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Granulomatous Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection Causes Secondary Knee Osteoarthritis is still a point of contention in terms of therapy, whether it is done early in the first stage or later in the second stage of knee surgery. Early Total Knee Arthroplasty as a therapy for secondary knee osteoarthritis induced by Granulomatous mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is still performed rarely. CASE PRESENTATION: A case of left pain and swollen knee in males for 8 months. Because of pain and reduced knee range of motion, the patient now has an antalgic gait, which make him difficult to do daily activities. Treatment with medications and physiotherapy failed. Radiographs revealed juxta-articular osteoporosis, peripherally distributed osseous erosions, joint space narrowing, and a bony defect in the medial femoral condyle. This case was successfully treated using Unconstrained Knee Arthroplasty PS Design. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Case selection for granulomatous infection case is key element to determine whether a single TKA procedure can be used to treat knee pain problems as a result of secondary osteoarthritis. CONCLUSION: This case shows secondary knee osteoarthritis caused by Granulomatous Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection without pyogenic pus production might allow for early one-stage total knee arthroplasty. Three months following surgery, the patient's knee was stable and painless, with good wound healing and no signs of infection.
