Hello!

10 months is a long time and you might have got cleared of tuberculosis.

You can go for an X-ray of the bone involved and see the present changes. If the pain and other symptoms have decreased, your body weight is increasing to normal BMI and you have no more symptoms you can stop anti tubercular therapy.

Consult your orthopedician for this or you can refer to any DOTS centre if you are in India.

Take care!
