A retrospective study of treatment of Tuberculous hip in children
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Skeletal tuberculosis in the paediatric age group is rare with an incidence of 5 to 6% of paediatric extra-pulmonary cases. This retrospective study was done on 35 children aged between 2 and 14 years between May 2013 to April 2016 with tuberculous hip aimed at analysing the pre and post treatment radiological features using Shanmugasundaram radiological types and their final outcome after ATT treatment, with or without surgical intervention as assessed by Moons’ criteria. There was neither correlation between pre and post treatment radiological type nor was there any correlation between the post treatment radiological type and the functional outcome. Keywords: Tuberculosis Hip, paediatric, Moons’ criteria, Shanmugasundaram radiological type, retrospective study.
