  • Title: [Compression arthrodesis in tuberculous coxitis].
    Author: Sozio A, Paolemili D, Ciniglio FV.
    Journal: Arch Putti Chir Organi Mov; 1989; 37(2):305-10. PubMed ID: 2624539.
    Abstract:
    Based on their experience, the authors emphasise the possible recurrence of inveterate centres of Tbc coxitis. It is their opinion that in cases healed with painful stiffness, where prosthetization does not guarantee good results, surgical revision of the joint, filling of the residual cavity with autoplastic or homoplastic intra-articular bone transplants, treatment with anti-Tbc drugs, and extra-articular stabilisation by compression, such as that provided by a Schneider cobra plate, are indicated.
