of the consolidation of the fusion mass in a sheep spine has been presented [20] which suggests that the developing arthrodesis was calcifying within 6 weeks, as collagen content rose later to suggest the formation and remodeling of bone.

The hybrid method presented in this article combines two numerical approaches commonly used in computation biomechanics to estimate the local stress distribution in the three index finger joints using non-invasive in-vivo data. The agreement between experimental and simulated fingertip forces as well as tendon forces and joint contact areas suggest this new model allows for realistic simulations of the finger biomechanics. Further development of this hybrid method could allow simulating the whole hand and other daily life tasks such as the power grip and thus offer a better understanding of the mechanical determinants and consequences of joint diseases such as OA. A deeper understanding of the biomechanics of the hand related to joint disease occurrence provides the groundwork for improving surgical procedures, such as arthrodesis, through more efficient numerical models.

Major databases (PubMed, EBSCOhost, and EMBASE) were queried to perform a comprehensive literature review. Studies published between 1 October 1960 and 1 December 2017 were included. The following keywords were included along with ‘AND’ and ‘OR’ Boolean operators: ‘tuberculosis’, ‘tuberculous’, ‘total hip replacement’, ‘total hip arthroplasty,’ ‘Ankylosed,’ ‘Ankylosis,’ ‘Fused,’ ‘Fusion,’ ‘Arthrodesis,’ ‘Arthrodesed.’ Criteria for inclusion were reporting of: (1) clinical outcomes; (2) radiographic outcomes; or (3) complications of THA in current or prior TB infection of the hip joint. We excluded studies that were: (1) case reports of one or two patients; (2) not written in the English language; (3) included patients with non-tuberculosis infections; and/or (4) duplicate studies between databases. Studies that reported on THA outcomes in hip ankylosis sequelae to tuberculosis were excluded if they collectively reported on patients from multiple underlying pathologies without specifying endpoints in tuberculosis patients. These inclusion criteria were applied by two co-authors and researchers. If disagreement was encountered, a third senior independent reviewer (A.A.S) was consulted. All available electronic copies of the reports were collected. If a report was not available electronically, a digitally scanned hard copy was requested and provided through the interlibrary loan service. The PRISMA flow chart in Figure 1 illustrates the selection process.

Despite groundbreaking advances in global healthcare, tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of severe morbidity and mortality with an estimated 10.4 million total cases worldwide in 2016 that led to approximately 1.7 million deaths [1]. Of those cases, 1%–3% suffer extrapulmonary musculoskeletal disease [2,3]. Osseous tuberculosis infection often affects the knee joint, and it is the most common location following the spine and hip [2,4]. TB of the knee is often associated with marked morbidity because of its non-specific presentation [4–6]. Therefore, osseous degeneration often reaches a very advanced state before a definite diagnosis is made, which then leads to a poor prognosis [4–6]. For those patients, end-stage joint destruction frequently requires surgical intervention to relieve pain and to restore mobility. Options may include arthrodesis, resection arthroplasty, and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) [4,7–12]. Arthrodesis and resection arthroplasty can provide control of the infection and relief of pain, but they may lead to decreased function in the affected limb and are associated with multiple complications [11,12]. In this realm, TKA has been considered, as it provides substantial benefits over arthrodesis and resection arthroplasty, namely that it permits the restoration of both function and mobility [4,7–12].
