#Morbid Anatomy.#--Tuberculous disease in the articular end of a long bone may give rise to _reactive changes_ in the adjacent joint, characterised by effusion and by the extension of the synovial membrane over the articular surfaces. This may result in the formation of adhesions which obliterate the cavity of the joint or divide it into compartments. These lesions are comparatively common, and are not necessarily due to actual tuberculous infection of the joint.
