ABSTRACT
Objective To explore therapy effect of different operational strategy on tuberculosis of cacroiliac joint with anterior-posterior giant abscess.Methods Fifteen cases were selected as our subject,who suffered with tuberculosis of cacroiliac joint with anterior-pesterior giant abscess from Apr.2005 to Oct.2009.Seven cases underwent focus clearance merely through posterior approach whereas the other 8 cases received focus clearance through anterior-posterior combined approach.We followed-up the cases postoperatively and compared the status of ambi-operation period and tuberculosis' turnover.Results In the posterior approach group,operational periods was (1.9 ± 1.3) h,hemorrhage volume was (487 ± 225) ml,of which 3 cases suffered from abscess relapse postoperatively.In the combined approach group,operational periods was (3.6 ± 1.8) h,hemorrhage volume was (765 ± 538) ml,of which I cases suffered from sinus tract formation postoperatively.Conclusion For patient with tuberculosis of cacroiliac joint with anterior-posterior giant abscess,it has the less relapse rate of the anterior-posterior combined approach than posterior approach.
