Authors recommendations on the use of orthopaedic implant and fixation techniques for Total Hip Arthroplasty in Tuberculosis of the hip joint.

	Tuberculosis of the hip with associated scenario	Author’s recommendation on the type of implants and fixation technique
1	Poor bone quality (elderly)	Conventional Cemented total hip arthroplasty
2	Good bone quality (younger patient)	Conventional Cementless total hip arthroplasty
3	Sclerotic acetabular margin	Modern porous coated metal cups
4	Acetabular defect with adequate head preserved	Bone Grafting with resected head and modern porous coated metal cup
5	Acetabular defect with loss of femoral head	Trabecular metal shell with Trabecular metal augments as and when required
6	Preserved neck in a younger patient	Neck preserving stems and/or short tapered wedge stems
7	Loss of femoral head but preserved calcar	Modular stem prosthesis
8	Subluxation or dislocation of the femoral head	Modular stem prosthesis and dual mobility cup at the native acetabulum
9	High up ridden and/or deformed femur	Modular stem prosthesis with or without subtrochanteric osteotomy
10	Childhood disease and late presentation with the narrow femoral canal	Modular stem prosthesis with or without subtrochanteric osteotomy
