Predictive factors for fracture-related infection in open tibial fractures in a Sub-Saharan African setting.

Introduction: The management of open tibial fractures (OTF) is challenging in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) where appropriate human resources and infrastructure (including equipment, implants and surgical supplies) are not readily available and medical care is not readily accessible. OTF are not rarely associated with a subsequent fracture-related infection (FRI), which is one of the most devastating and difficult to cure complications in orthopaedic trauma care. The aim of this study was to determine the rate and the predictive factors of FRI in OTF in a limited-resource setting of sub-Saharan Africa.

Total Hip Arthroplasty Indicated for a Tuberculous Coxitis Complicating a Controlled Acquired Imunodefficiency Syndrom Condition: A Preliminary Report Concerning a Case.

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains controversial in active tuberculosis (TB) infection because of the risks of septic loosening and reactivation of the infection. We present a rare case of THA in a patient positive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with active tuberculous coxitis. The aim of this work is to share our experience and our preliminary results.
