Hip tuberculosis removal

The incidence of hip tuberculosis is second only to spinal tuberculosis. This disease is more common in children. Exposure of the joints of the extremities is easier and clearer than that of the spine, and the lesions are removed more thoroughly. Therefore, the cure rate of extremity joint tuberculosis is higher than that of spinal nodules. Early sacroiliac tuberculosis includes simple bone tuberculosis or synovial tuberculosis. After the lesion is cleared, not only can the tuberculosis be cured, but most or all functions of the joint can be retained. Advanced sacroiliac tuberculosis (including total joint tuberculosis and secondary infections) can clear tuberculosis lesions, but will lose joint function. Therefore, sacroiliac joint tuberculosis should be diagnosed early and operated early to reduce disability.
