[Is conservative treatment justified in the case of advanced infantile tuberculosis of the hip? (author's transl)].
In the case of advanced children tuberculosis of the hip, the authors propose a more active treatment than Wilkinson's, which is less conservative. A local curetting is important, and if the acetabulum reveals a geodic aspect, this surgery may be done by pelvic approach. After an orthopedic traction, the surgical method is more efficient and permits better flexibility of the hip, only to be noticed under general anesthesia. After surgery, this traction must be prolonged for a several months and kinesitherapic mobilisation must be associated. The excellent result, both clinical and radiographic obtained by the authors seems to justify the use of the above mentioned method.
