title: [Surgical correction of skeletal deformations in children with osteoarticular tuberculosis].
abstract: On the grounds of the experience with the surgical treatment of 268 children of different age with tuberculosis of the spine and big joints the types of surgical interventions, aimed at the correction, prevention or elimination of marked skeletal deformities concomitant with the main disease are defined. A high effectiveness of early necrotomies in the prophylaxis of such deformities is emphasized. A critical assessment of resection of the main joints in children of the first 7 to 9 years of age is given, and the indications for this operation are restricted.
