title: [Changed life quality in patients with tuberculosis and other diseases of large joints after surgical treatment].
abstract: The quality of life was studied in 88 patients who had been operated on for tuberculosis and other diseases of the hip and knee joints. Reconstructive surgery was ascertained to considerably relieve painful sensations, to permit the better capacities of patients' movements. Multifactorial analysis of life quality in patients demonstrated the obvious advantages of reparative mobilizing operations on the joints over arthrodesing ones. A comprehensive evaluation of the efficiency of operations should take into account not only the traditional objective clinical and X-ray parameters, but also the subjective criteria for the quality of life in patients.
