Abstract
Accurate diagnosis ensures appropriate therapy of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Since mycobacterial PJI is rare, routine testing is inappropriate. We reviewed hip and knee PJI at our institution over 28 months. Mycobacterial cultures were routinely sent with rare positivity. Mycobacterial cultures should be sent only when there is clinical suspicion.
