Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) still rates among the most important infectious diseases in the world, especially in developing countries. Skeletal TB manifests mainly as spondylitis, arthritis, and less frequently, as osteomyelitis. TB osteomyelitis usually develops in the metaphyses of long bones. It is rare for TB to affect the epiphysis directly, without involving the metaphysis. Epiphseal lesions due to TB are lytic in formation
