[Osseous-perichondral autoplasty in surgery for tuberculosis of the joints]

The results of 68 reconstruction surgeries made in the hip and knee joints in tuberculosis and concomitant diseases were studied. Advantages of operations involving the component plasty of joint ends (osseous autoplasty, as well as auto-perichondral plasty and their variations), including under the conditions of revascularization of the osseous bed, were proven on the basis of the results of a comparative analysis of clinical-and-functional data and X-ray examinations. The use of the method ensuring additional sources for vascularizing the joint tissues improves the conditions of autograft assimilation; the application of perichondral grafting preserves or expands the joint split, which provides an increased mobility amplitude in a damaged joint. The use of perichondral plasty and of its combination with revascularization of the joint osseous joint tissues secured more favorable results as compared to the implementation of osseous-plasty interventions alone.
