  • Tuberculosis Infectious
    The lesions are observed in both knees, with osteolytic lesions at the distal epiphysis of the proximal femurs and tibias, which destroys the right tibia in the anteromedial portion of the epiphyseal edge, while the left side is fistulous hole circular conical, larger surface in the metaphyseal cortex. The femoral right condyles are deteriorated in its posterior. In metaphyseal areas of the shaft, distal femoral and proximal tibial show moderate osteolytic reaction, which exposes the cavities of the spongy tissue. Gonartritis TB (1986), confirmed by DNA testing (1998).
  • Anterior view both knees. The metaphyseal lines and and pathological lesion are distinguished. In the right (R) at its upper epiphysis is seen a pathological cavity by osteolytic destruction that penetrates the lower metaphyseal side. In the left (L) in front of the epiphyseal side, there is a typical fistula entering the metaphyseal area.

  • Proximal right upper tibial epiphysis, in which anterior edge are osteolytic destruction, a circumstance that allows to see the upper metaphyseal tibial shaft.

  • Distal tibial epiphysis of the upper right (anatomical edge above), bone destruction. There is clearly a central area of osteolysis in the metaphyseal side.

  • Upper right metaphyseal tibial shaft, showing osteolysis.

  • Proximal upper epiphysis of the left tibia (L), which shows a sharply circular fistula. Anterior (bottom of image), a line delimits the anterior tibial tuberosity, show that had not yet completed its synostosis.

  • Left tibia metaphyseal, upper epiphysis. Subcortical osteolysis around the fistula, the route is conical . The tibial tuberosity is unaffected.

  • Left tibia metaphyseal, upper epiphysis, shows intense osteolysis, with mayor cavity in its posterior (top image). Diaphyseal cortex not affected.

  • Distal epiphysis of right femur, which shows significant osteolytic changes in the metaphyseal.

  • Distal epiphysis of left femur, which shows significant osteolytic changes in the metaphyseal

  • Distal epiphysis of the right femoral shaft, at its metaphyseal side, shows moderate osteolytic lesions in the central area.

  • Distal epiphysis of the left femoral shaft, at its metaphyseal side, shows moderate osteolytic lesions in the central area.

  • Anteroposterior radiograph of both knees, at the level of the midline of both limbs, show transparency, secondary to bone osteolysis described. More bone destruction in the right femur, and in the left tibia.

  • Radiograph of a case reported by Donati (1938), which shows great similarity with the image of the left knee of the previous figure.

  • Radiography, upper proximal epiphysis of both tibias. (R) right showing the central erosion at their anterior edge. (L). left in the center of the epiphysis show the fistula and subcortical osteolytic erosion.
