Tuberculosis of Wrist Presenting as Scaphoid Fracture: A Case Report
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2011, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The scaphoid is an uncommon site for tuberculous infection. Clinical features and radiographic findings are not necessarily helpful and may lead to a delay in diagnosis and therefore poor treatment results. We report here a case of scaphoid tuberculosis, which presented as a scaphoid fracture, but then progressed to wrist arthritis. The patient was treated conservatively and had good functional outcome. To the best of our knowledge, such presentation has not been documented.
