Abstract

Osteoarticular tuberculosis involves 1–3 % of all tubercular cases with most common sites as spine, hip, and knee. Less than 10 % of osteoarticular tuberculosis involves foot. Its rare occurrence requires high degree of suspicion for early diagnosis and optimal management. Post-traumatic occurrence, atypical radiological picture, and variable presentation further worsen the prognosis and morbidity. Post-traumatic osteoarticular tuberculosis is a very rare entity with very few cases reported worldwide. We are reporting our case series of five patients with post-traumatic osteoarticular tuberculosis.
