Abstract
1. Thirty-six cases of tuberculous hip disease treated by the Trumble type of extra-articular arthrodesis are reviewed.
2. The size and position of the graft, and the results and complications, are tabulated.
3. It is concluded that a short wide graft, placed almost horizontally between femur and ischium, gives the best results, and that a long obliquely placed graft is less satisfactory, and more liable to fracture or non-union.
