Abstract
1. In seventeen cases of tuberculosis of the hip in children with severe destruction of the joint arthroplasty was done using full thickness skin from the abdominal wall as the interposing material. 2. The results, after a follow-up on the average of three years, show that one-third of the cases are very satisfactory, one-third are fair and one-third show no movement.Keywords
