Bone grafting for hip and knee tbc. P. Vignard (Lyon chir., 1927, No. 2)

The author uses this transplantation in some cases of tbc lesions of the named joints, namely, mainly in the initial stages of the process when the joint is still mobile and there are no infiltrates or fistulas. During the operation, the affected synovial membrane is removed at the same time, and the adjacent bone epiphyses are scraped out with a sharp spoon.
