Journal Title: JOURNAL OF MEDICAL COLLEGE CHANDIGARH - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Tubercular is infection of upper limb extremity is uncommon. In children, the percentage of elbow involvement is very rare. Here we report a case of 10 month old male child, who presented with swelling and unable to move his left elbow with unclear history of fall. Initial radiographs did not suggest infective pathology, MRI suggested local inflammatory pathology. Abiopsy was taken from the olecranon fossa which revealed tubercular osteomyelitis. The patient improved on anti-tubercular drugs.
