ABSTRACT
Prevalent is the concept that tuberculosis has completely been put under control and the actual number of the patients is decreasing. This study has been undertaken in part to give substantial evidence to this general idea about the tuberculosis. Total 921 patients with skeletal tuberculous lesions, selected out of all the patients consulted to the department of orthopedic surgery during the 13 consecutive years from Jaunary of 1963 to December of 1975, were subjected to this analysis. 1. Overall incidence of patients with skeletal tuberculosis was 4.8% of all the patients visited during the 13 years. 2. Of 921 patients, males were 591 and females 330, which showed the men were affected 1.8 times more than women. 3. More than half of them (51,5%) occurred under the age of 19 years. 4. Three anatomical sites were predisposed to this affection; 58.5% in spine, 10.5% in hip, and 11.6% in knee. 5. With the above study it can be safely be said that the actual number and also the incidence of skeletal tuberculosis has not shown any trend of decline and accordingly its management should be more regulated and thorough.
