Abstract
I operated 41 old tuberculous joints in past 3 years, Though I cannot draw a conclusion from my experiences in only three years, I think that next methods are proper plans of operation by their experiences.
1. The clearing of focus under giving the specifics of tuberculosis has good results by using with bone graft. Thereby, if the extra-articular arthrodesis is tried, I advance the clearing of focus at the same time as the extra-articular arthrodesis.
2. In patients over ten years of age, I advance to try the arthrodesis at the same time as the clearing of focus in the tuberculosis of hip joint.
3. In children under five-six years of age, we can expect rarely a certain movement of the joints after healing of tuberculosis by the clearing of focus.
