Abstract
The authors report and discuss a patient who on clinical and radiological presentation was diagnosed as a case
of severe osteoarthritis of hip developing after suspected fracture of acetabulum but which later on during arthroplasty
was diagnosed as a case of chronic progressive monoarthritis hip due to tuberculosis with caseating abscess and severe
hip joint destruction and treated as planned with Girdlestone arthroplasty.
