Objective To review the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis infection after total knee arthro-plasty (TKA). Methods The recent literature concerning the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis infection after TKA were extensively reviewed and summarized. Results The diagnosis of tuberculosis infection after TKA is difficult. It should be combined with the patient’s medical history, symptoms, signs, blood examinations, and imaging examinations, among which the bacterial culture and histopathological examination are the gold standard of diagnosis. Treatment strategy is combined with the drug treatment and a variety of surgical procedures that depends on the clinical situation. Conclusion At present, there is no guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis infection after TKA, it still needs further study and improvement.
