Bacteria escape phagocytic destruction and survive macrophages spread through lymphatics with lymph node enlargement and central necrosis
For unexplained reason flexon side is mostly affected, ulnar side more than radial side maybe due to more active involvement, as TB is more common in upper limbs than lower limbs, dominant hand more than non dominant side
