Description
The authors have used conservative treatment in 29 cases of tuberculosis of the elbow with 12 months of specific chemotherapy regim and 1-2 months of plaster immobilisation followed by rehabilitation. Seven elbows were ankylosed at the end of the period of treatment, 20 elbows had a useful range of joint movement, and 14 had more than 70° of free movement. The results were not so satisfactory regarding pronation and supination. The authors believe that conservative management gives better results than classical arthrodesis or excision of the elbow joint. © 1980 Springer-Verlag.
