ABSTRACT
Osteoarticular tuberculosis is a rare condition and it makes up 1-3% of all cases of tuberculosis. It usually occurs at the vertebra and it is common knowledge that tuberculous osteomyelitis is very rare at the foot. The clinical symptoms are nonspecific, and it can also mimic a wide range of pathologies, so it takes a lot of time to diagnosis and treat this illness. When osteoarticular tuberculosis is diagnosed, it should be gone through side to side with thorough debridement and chemotherapy. The author has experience 2 case of tuberculous osteomyelitis, so I report here on the diagnosis and treatment of this illness.
