Dr. C. Balaji

Abstract :

We report the clinic radiological features oftuberculosis in the clavicle in 3 patients. The  patients ’ages ranged from 25 years to 60 years. Of the three patients one patient has had associated c3 caries spine. All patients were managed with antitubercular drug therapy and two underwent surgical deidement and curettage as well. Cervical spine caries is also managed conservatively. Clinicians should be aware of the varied presentation (pain, non–healing ulcer, abscess, multifocal osteoarticular tuberculosis) ofthis condition. With the worldwide resurgence of  turberculosis , clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion. The diagnosis of osteoarticular tuberculosis is usually made on clinico–radiological features.
