Knee joint tuberculosis removal

The exposure of the knee joint is more convenient and spacious, and it is easy to achieve the purpose of completely removing the lesion. The surgical cure rate can reach more than 95%. However, there is a lack of muscles around the knee joint, and it is easy to cause adhesions after the joint. Because the knee joint is superficial, the early symptoms are obvious, and the diagnosis is easier, which is conducive to the application of non-surgical treatments such as early joint cavity puncture and purulence and perfusion of anti-TB drugs. For simple synovial tuberculosis, if it can be treated early, it can cure the lesion and preserve joint function, it should be applied preferentially.
