Try contacting National Jewish medical Center as they have done extensive study on pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis. They treat difficult cases and have published numerous studies.
Tuberculosis Information
Try focusing your research on extrapulmonary tuberculosis which includes bones

Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis - Infectious Diseases - Merck Manuals Professional Edition
Focus on extrapulmonary TB rather than bone TB and you will find more like the above. Good luck
Thanks a bunch!!

If you haven't already I suggest reaching out to a librarian at your school for search help. They love helping students with research requests like this! (At least all the librarians I know do), Plus they can show you data bases and search strategies that will help you with future projects.

I was doing a case study on my paper for my first group paper and I've come to them for this. This is the best! Librarians help with research and my school has certain ones they assign you to particular to your major or the class you're taking that you need help in.
