Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection may occur after inoculation with infected biological material into the skin or mucous membranes. The authors describe a case of tuberculous monoarthritis in a previously healthy orthopedic surgeon, due to an accidental inoculation during the surgical drainage of a septic arthritis. Treatment with oral antituberculous drugs and surgical drainage was sufficient, without resorting to synovectomy.
