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. |
