Combined treatment of surgical tbc in spas. Kozlowski (Orth. and Traum., 1928, p. 5-6)

In the treatment of bone tbc Kozlowski recommends a combination of surgical treatment and spa treatment. The treatment begins with a double osteotomy or neurotomy according to Molotkov, and the resulting disruption of blood circulation and bone innervation is a biological stimulus to the tbc focus, leading first to rarification of the short end of the bone, and then to increased ossification and sclerosing of the latter.
