Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of the shoulder is an unusual condition, with few cases reported in the orthopaedic literature. Although skeletal tuberculosis is uncommon in developed countries, several conditions, of which the orthopaedic surgeon should be aware, predispose patients to mycobacterial shoulder infections. We report a case of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of the shoulder that occurred thirty-seven years after a shoulder hemiarthroplasty. The patient was informed that data concerning the case would be submitted for publication, and he consented.
